    Ask a specialist.  I take heart drugs following a bypass, I drink moderate amounts of wine, and I wear long sleeved shirts and use PF30 in the summer.  The side effects are like a moderate hangover, no worse.  But ASK A SPECIALIST not a GP.

    If ever you are dissatisfied with the service you get you can always ask your doctor to get a second opinion.  Why not?
