Possibly. I looked them up and Lipitor was FDA approved in 96 and Synthroid in 01, so likely if was just catching up on the lag of being introduced to the market.

I seriously believe that if you can do without medication you shouldn't take any. As in, if you have a medical issue that requires it, then that's out of your control, but if you take drugs just because it can't possibly be good for you long term. Mind, that's probably because I had to take medication for my health for a few years and the side effects weren't fun. The moment I got a chance to try living without it I did. Life is harder, but I feel much better off them.

The more drugs you take, the higher chance you'll get nasty side effects or interactions. I don't take anything I don't have to. My doc mom said there's people who take other drugs to manage another drugs side effects in a horrible chain.

You know what I just saw on TV?
Some commercial for a drug that "controls high blood sugar". You know how the people in it were? FAT. And over their ham speak a song played "ohh everyday people" or some shit.
There's another commercial for a drug I don't remember that also features hams, only hams.
