I knew why Fred it was because skilarence was approved by NICE in 2017 and fumaderm has never been approved so as soon as the carrier pigeon landed in Norwich 2 years after the approval by NICE they decided to change me, which I'm extremely happy with and hopefully I can get another 7 years out of DMF  tablets

I know you already said that. I was referring to my question about why.

But you have answered now so carry on.
