What we have so far

Built to cut stomach acid, and they were the world's best-selling drug before the proton pump inhibitors — now used off-label as the second antihistamine in MCAS.

This star is on the map because the show intends to take the question apart properly — the trials, how it is actually tested, whether the thing sold is the thing studied.
