How would you classify a drug if its container is composed of any poisonous or deleterious substance?

Adulterated
Misbranded
Outdated
Recalled

The correct answer is: Adulterated

Classifying a drug as adulterated when its container contains any poisonous or deleterious substance is correct. The definition of adulteration refers to any product that has been contaminated or made impure by the addition of harmful substances. This classification aims to protect public health by ensuring that medications are safe for consumer use. Adulteration can occur not just through the drug itself, but also through its packaging, thus encompassing any harmful elements in the container. Other considerations, such as misbranding, relate to misleading labeling rather than the integrity of the container. Outdated products pertain to expiration dates rather than contamination, and a recall involves withdrawing a product due to safety issues but does not cover the classification of deliberately harmful packaging. Hence, the categorization of a drug as adulterated fits precisely with the context of safety concerns regarding the materials used in its packaging.
