FDA Recommends Limited Use of Celebrex, Bextra

FDA Recommends Limited Use of Celebrex, Bextra. Dr Cohagan also advises it is probably safer in "customary doses than has been reported in the studies, which included very large doses. It is also important to continue using aspirin in 81 mg coated doses, taken at least one hour before taking any of these other doses, because the other "arthritis drugs do not have the same cardiac-protective effect. All such medications should be taken with food to reduce the possibility of gastric effects.

About Me

My photo
Dedok
I am a retired solo family physician in Bentonville, AR., USA, a town in northwest Arkansas, the home of the largest retail corporation in the world : Wal*Mart. It is so beautiful here, with hills, valleys, small mountains, beautiful lakes, rippling streams and very mild weather with definite seasons. A place of "home values" and deep roots. I am a family physician and have been practicing medicine for over forty-five years, now retired! I hope you enjoy some of my postings. God Bless - -
