First of all, you have to define those terms. 

control group - One which is not affected by the experiment, which results will be compared to. In this case = Result of people who get typically subscribed drugs. 

dependent variable -  the result = this case, what will happen.

independent variable - what will change that will affect the results, this case -> the amount of drugs subscribed. 

reliant variable - .... can't find the definition. I assume this is what is missing. Are you sure the website spelt it right or is it meant to be "relevant" variable?
