Comments: | Better as an "expl" gloss, paraphrasing a little. |

Comments: | That's a good point. Many people would have only a vague idea of what 'quasi-drug" is supposed to mean, and that makes my proposed definition limited in its usefulness. . About your definition: I don't think it's right to refer to "medicated ingredients". You can refer to a medicated *product* (e.g. medicated shampoo), but I think the *ingredients* of the product are "medicinal" rather than "medicated". . After reading the following article, I have come up with another proposal: "quasi-drug (product that has a relatively mild medicinal effect and can be sold in general stores as well as pharmacies)" http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/11926.php |

Comments: | It's very Japanese to call things "quasi-.....", in fact when I Googled for "quasi-drug" the first 10 sites were either Japanese or referred to Japan. (I'm reminded of "Quasi National Park",) A sort-of waseieigo. As that site I quoted points out, it's a variety of product rather unique to Japan. |
