Well, it is sold as a drug, in the sense that on the package it says that it cures a sickness, which is the point of a drug. I'm not saying that it doesn't work (sometimes the placebo effect is everything you want, for example when a child hurts himself, he'll be happy as soon as he has taken a pill, no matter which one), but I think it's a bit strange to sell a bit of sugar with a very small quantity of active substance for 1000 times the production cost.
