Answer to Question 1

The PDR provides product descriptions, explanations of the drug's chemical structure, the mechanism of action, conditions for which they have been approved for use, dosage, and administration. There are also warnings, possible adverse reactions or drug interactions, and indications to whom the drug can be used for (children, elderly, nursing or pregnant mothers, etc.)

Answer to Question 2

In many cases no sharp distinctions can be made between drugs. Drugs with almost identical molecular structures may induce entirely different effects, while other drugs whose molecular structures are quite different may induce almost identical effects. Some drugs may have one effect at one dose and an entirely different effect at another. A drug may have multiple psychological effects in a certain dose range, and depending on the population taking it, some of these effects may be viewed as desirable in one person and undesirable in another. Furthermore, there is no universal agreement on how to classify drugs.
