Age/Question on medication
Dear All,
I have a couple of questions that any advice on would be much appreciated...
1) I've just turned 32, and am in the process of saving as much money as I can until I can start an integrated course....which I guess will be whan I am around 34. The first question is whether this is too old....thoughts much apprecieted??
2) The second is that I currently take a prescription drug for the treatment of a minor prostate condition (Avodart). Would anyone know if this would mean I would be refused a medical....ie. I assume that there is a question on the Class1A medical which asks and when I say yes...would this mean I wouldn't get the medical?? I guess generally it would also be good to know something about the rules of taking medication and flying.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Thanks.

I have copied your medication question to the Medical forum. As for your age, please read this thread. All of it.
