Unintended consequences strikes again
The recent consternation about the vaunted COX-2 inhibitor drugs not only shows the side effects in the press but what some others were. If one goes to http://www.cancerlynx.com/cox2.html all the details are there. The drug companies had produced a drug to attack inflamattion that actually attacked some of the bodies own defense mechanism against inflamattion. Did they know before they sold? Hmmmm ... the dates of knowledge of these mechanisms pre-dates the release of the drugs.
