So I don't know if you've ever looked at the pamphlet inside your medications, Norman.

I'm not one to read the pamphlet.

Right, yes, it does look like a dot point, doesn't it?

It doesn't look like an exclamation mark or anything that might actually draw your attention.

It's just a small, upside-down, solid black triangle, usually somewhere near the top of the pamphlet, which tells the person that this is a new medicine or an existing medicine that's been used for a different condition.

and urges people to report side effects.

But since this was introduced in 2018, people haven't been reporting more side effects.

And so researchers... Which is not because the drugs have suddenly got safer.

No, not at all.

Well, I don't know, maybe... No, definitely not.

But this study, which was led by researchers at Adelaide University and published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, they found that...

consumers and healthcare professionals didn't seem to know what this black triangle meant.

So, okay, fine, consumers, one in 10, did know.

So 90% didn't know.

I'm one of that 90%.

But also half of the healthcare professionals that they surveyed didn't know what it was or that it existed.

No, we're not.

And like you said, this is almost like a phase four clinical trial for these drugs, seeing how they act in the real world.

This study, to be fair, it only... Why are you fair?

Let's not be fair.
