I have no problem where taking a tablet is the better of two evils as you describe.
As with the latest finding on sleeping pills which can now increase dramatically the incidence of dementia many of us are concerned that other medications will themselves prove to have very negative implications in the future?
Statins are one.
While with patients who have serious disease as stated the pills are the better of two evils there have been calls for mass medication of people over the age of 50 with statins.
I presume research designed to prove a case by the drug companies hence increasing their sales dramatically?
