Makes sense to me .

That is true Lindsay....but the researchers are realising that this has been a wrong approach.
Women react differently to men with many drugs because they
are different.
Just because something works well for a man doesn't always mean it will have the same effects on a woman.
I have been left the NHS for 9years.......I went to a seminar run by Astra Zeneca........ooh, it must be nearly 15 years ago now, and the researchers were aware of that fact as long ago as that. I don't know if much is being done about this.....but surely it should be.
