      Hi,

      Great question and the answer is sort of.

      I read and hear about lots of different medicines because there are loads of studies on each different one so I pick up a little about what each of them are and do.

      But because I am mainly interested in the type of science that each of these medicines have been tested with, I don’t need to know exactly what each medicine is and exactly how it does what it does. There is branch of science that does learn all about different medicines called pharmacology.

      I work with these types of scientists so I can go and ask them if there’s something I’m not sure about 🙂
