Today quite a busy day... hmmmph, I need to rearrange back my schedule I think.
I have a class today at 9am, the lecture about asthma drugs, but really I couldn't really understand what the lecturer said to us. Not just because of his slang, but we are focusing more to the biotech quiz at the evening. Now, only 9 weeks left till the final exam. I need to focus more...

Tragedy
‘Elixir of Sulfonilamide Tragedy’ of 1937 led to the requirement that drugs be tested for safety before they reached the market. This tragedy cause more than 100 people died. After that, the food, drug and cosmetic act was established in the USA. Click the link below for story behind the tragedy:
But, clinical trials were not required till now! Did you ever heard:
“Medicine sometimes grants health, sometimes destroys it....”
Ovid, Tristia
Another quote said:
“If you want to explain any poison properly, what then isn’t a poison? All things are poison; the dose alone causes a thing not to be a poison.”
Paracelsus
1493-1541 AD
So, make sure if you take some medicament, follow the instruction well and you got the right drugs. Take your time for searching your drug side effects too.
Last word, lets relax and rehab.....
