New anti-inflammatory drug (Arthrotec)

[Guest guest]

Hi folks --

I've been meaning to write an introductory post but haven't had time yet. I

will try to do so in the next few days. I saw the posts about

anti-inflammatories, though and I thought it might be worth mentioning

Arthrotec, which was approved by the FDA on December 23 of last year and has

been on the pharmacy shelves in the US since late January. It contains an

ingredient designed to prevent the gastrointestinal problems that NSAIDs can

cause, and was specifically tested and approved for people with rheumatoid

arthritis and osteoarthritis who have had stomach ulcers caused by other

NSAIDs. If you haven't tried it, it might be worth asking your doctor

about. It's manufactured by Searle Pharmaceuticals. I had gastritis for

two years and Arthrotec knocked it out in ten days. It didn't do much for

my fibromyalgia, unfortunately, but it has helped other people with fibro,

including my 78-year-old mother who is out of bed for the first time in a

decade.
