The correct answer is Option A: 1954 . Let's understand why this Act was needed: Before 1954, many companies used to advertise drugs and certain 'magic remedies' with claims that were not true or were highly exaggerated. For example, they might claim a product could cure serious diseases like cancer, diabetes, or even make someone taller, which was often misleading and dangerous. These objectionable advertisements could trick people into buying products that didn't work and prevent them from seeking real medical treatment, putting their health at risk. So, the Parliament approved The Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act in 1954 . The main goal of this Act is to stop misleading advertisements for drugs and 'magic remedies'. It makes sure that advertisements for health products are truthful and don't make false promises. This law is crucial for public safety and consumer protection in the field of medicine. Remember, knowing the year these important laws were passed helps you understand the history and development of pharmaceutical regulations!
