     FYI: metformin; janumet; pravastatin; lisinipril. digoxin; verapamil; trulicity; amlodopine; aspirin. I do not smoke; I do not drink at all (not even a tsp of wine on Shabbos evening); nor do I use any kind of 'recreational' medicine. I daven three times a day; keep kosher; do not even wish for NaziGene and PaedoBarney to perish an early, painful biological death (albeit even if deserved).
