Yeah, well, you may know what they’re for, I’m not altogether sure I do… but I take frusemide… that’s for the heart, to sort of relieve my water. Lisinipril, I think that’s for the heart; isosorbide mononitrate – I’ve got no idea what that’s for. Thyroxine – two lots of that thyroxine, that would be for the thyroid. Glibenclamide, that’s for the [diabetes]. Amiodarone – I don’t know what that’s for – got no idea these days…amiodarone… Then I take an aspirin, and then at night cimetidine for the stomach ulcer.

Ok and what do you take in the day for your diabetes?

Well the glibenclamide wouldn’t it? I take two of those in the morning and two at lunchtime.

Do you know off hand how many pills that is in a day you’re taking?

I can tell you [laughs]… 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10,11… and at lunchtime three, and at night one, so that’s 15 isn’t it? [laughs].

Quite a lot to remember isn’t it?

Well that’s why they’re written down isn’t it? I, I can remember.
