Did you notice any difference?
Not at all, not at all, not at all.
Do you know what the results of the trial were? Did they--?

They told me, “By the way you have been given a, a proper tablet. You’re one of the, the lucky persons.” Anyway but I can’t say that it was better for my condition, or worse. I never had any difference in my symptoms with this new tablet.

But we were given enough information in general from the research. So we accept, because we knew the situation that may happen. We were aware and we were told about that.
