Every time you read the back of a medicine box the age is always 12 when you are considered an adult. Why is this?
In: Biology
The other responses point out that children and adults are different and have different body sizes, but the question is why do all medicines use the age of 12, instead of some using 13 or 14?
The answer must have something to do with the FDA drug approval process. There must be some regulatory reason that “12 years and over” and “children under 12” are the phrases that are always used.
