NEW DRUGS NEW SIDE EFFECTS

BBC recenly carried a report on New-Drugs New Side-Effects.

Traditional NSAIDs - nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) - are one of the most common options to relieve the pain of arthritis.

But there are side effects - stomach upset, or more serious gastrointestinal (GI) problems, including ulcers and bleeding.

So when a new more 'stomach friendly' type of drug - the cyclooxygenase-2 or COX-2 Inhibitors - became available many people swapped their medication.

However, recent reports in the medical press suggest that these might not be suitable for everyone.
