Re: things that make me feel old
They say that this polypill has no side effects, but then they would say that wouldn't they?
Lots of drugs have been marketed with a loud trumpeting of the phrase'no side effects'.....but then who have they tested it on? What research criteria did they use?
Many of todays drugs are given to women when they were only tested on men.....scientists now know that this was wrong and that women react very differently than men to drugs.
The Doctor prescribes a pill, which needs another pill to control the side effects of the first pill(even if the side effect is something fairly innocuous...like, say constipation...it will still affect the quality of your life) and before you know where you are you are queueing up for your carrier bag of medicines that you never thought you needed...because you were a healthy 42 year old.
Thank you, but no thank you!
