18 What is unmet medical needs in Adult Common Diseases? 1) Do we need drugs forever? 2) Should we take drugs everyday? 3) Can we prevent the onset of DM, hypertension.? 4) Is cost expensive to take DPP4 inhibitors, ARBs, even if these drugs work as organ protective? Answer is No!!, if vaccine would become realm.
