Statement: Should all the drugs patented and manufactured in Western countries be first tried out on sample basis before giving licence for sale to general public in India?

Arguments:

  1. Yes. Many such drugs require different doses and duration for Indian population and hence it is necessary.

Either I or II is strong
Neither I nor II is strong
