In Germany we have "Retard-Tabletten" (Tabletten = pills), which are not intended to stop (or accelerate) cognitive decline, but release the active ingredients with a delay.
- perching_aix 1y agoWe have those too. I wonder how many people actually know that's what that means, cause it's not an everyday word by far here in this meaning.
