Yes it is. The Four Noble Truths only seem to mention two poisons rather than three poisons.

Upon reflection, it seems the Four Noble Truths are centred on birth, aging, illlness & death, both literally and as impermanence.

Prince Siddharta did leave home looking for a solution for birth, aging, illlness & death.

From attachment to birth, aging, illlness & death, arise sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief & despair and the dukkha of separation from the loved, association with the unloved & wanting something and not get it.
