Oh no, I am agreeing with Willy on something. To say the ideal person for this role does not need a background in biochemistry/biology strikes me as a little odd.

I also give these detai...

When taking satins it is really important to bear in mind the potential drug interactions. I would never take any of them at the levels needed to influence MS unless I underwent a thorough check- up and had on-going medical monitoring.
