藥品外表改變英語作文

　　Don't judge a book by its cover.

　　And don't judge a pill by its color…or shape.

　　When prescriptions for post-heart-attack care got refilled and the same drugs suddenly came in different shapes or colors, patients were significantly more likely to stop taking their meds.

　　That's the finding from a study involving more than 11,000 patients that appears in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

　　Even when different looking pills contained the exact same active ingredient, a change in color boosted the odds that patients would stop taking their heart medication by 34 percent.

　　A change in shape jumped the chance that patients would cease their meds by 66 percent.

　　There's no legal requirement to make generic and brand-name drugs appear alike.

　　But the study's authors say that the Food and Drug Administration should consider making consistent appearance the standard, as such uniformity would likely result in more patients adhering to their medication regimens.

　　For now, we're all stuck reading pharmaceutical labels.

　　翻譯：

　　不要從封面來判斷一本書的好壞，

　　當然也不能憑借顏色和形狀來判斷一片藥。

　　當按照為心臟病患者開具的處方第二次抓藥時，與第一次所抓的一樣，只是藥品突然形狀和顏色發生改變，也極有可能使得病人開始停藥。

　　這是根據一項對11000多名病人所做的調查研究得出的結論，而該研究已經在《內科醫學年鑒》上發表。

　　即便成分完全一樣的藥片外表不一樣，僅僅一個顏色的改變就會使病人增加34%不再想繼續服用的可能性。

　　而形狀的改變就會使病人停藥的概率猛增66%。

　　法律并無硬性規定同類或同品牌的藥品外表一樣。

　　但是該研究者表示食品和藥物管理局應該制定藥品始終如一的外觀標準，這樣的一致性更能使病人堅持完他們的服藥療程。

　　而且目前，我們還都堅持閱讀藥品標簽。
