There is scarcely a drug on the market that does not have a range of contraindications or side-effects listed on each packet. That is the other side of the coin. Every drug on the market comes with a list of warnings about side effects. We need to be balanced in our approach. We have taken advice on this and limited the number of drugs to three. Originally, it was suggested that six or seven be included.
