A new class of painkillers, COX-2 inhibitors that were supposed to prevent ulcers and related side effects may actually limit the ability of the stomach and intestinal lining to heal itself, according to researchers. The two COX-2 inhibitors now on the market are the arthritis drugs Celebrex and Vioxx. These drugs are responsible for at least 10 deaths and can potentially cause the following symptoms: toxicity, tinnitis, ulcers, Headaches, dizziness, liver damage, cramps, nausea, rashes, weight gain, and cartilage destruction. Again, we ask where the F.D.A. was when the approval process was going on? Money talks and ulcers still happen! It is outrageous!
