More help through the Cox-2 maze…

If you’re still trying to sort through the Cox-2 maze, you’re not alone.  What’s safe to take and what isn’t?  What’s worth the risk?  Are there alternatives?  What should I take for what?

There’s a good overview of the current situation in the USA by Dr Eric Matteson, a Mayo Clinic specialist.  Even if you don’t live in the USA, most of the information is still relevant.  Dr Matteson gives information in Question and Answer format, and answers such questions as:  Why was Bextra taken off the market?

Aleve has also been in the news. Is it safe?
What if Vioxx or Bextra was the only medication that worked for you? What do you do then?
