Arthritis patients of lives

Article Type: Food facts From: Nutrition & Food Science, Volume 41, Issue 2

An all-in-one drug could help prevent hundreds of arthritis sufferers from gastric bleeding. Axorid is the first medicine to combine a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory treatment (NSAID) with a proton pump inhibitor to protect the stomach from ulcers and bleeding, in a single pill. It works by delivering both powerful pain relief and gastro protection in one dose – without this extra protection. NSAID patients are susceptible to serious gastroduodenal complications, often without any warning.
