 The text discusses how people with minor health problems often look for explanations and their doctors search for explanations, attributing symptoms to a tablet. A new guide will radically increase the use of the drug, which is currently only available to those at a 20% risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke within the next decade. Some seven million Britons already take the drug, but this number is expected to increase by ten million. Travel was involved in the survey commissioned by online travel agent sunshine.co.uk, which polled 2,364 British women who had been on holiday with their partner in the last year.
