Well, it was Vioxx, then Celebrex, and now my beloved Aleve --- all are now known to cause heart problems. What is the process that drugs are tested and approved by the Food & Drug Administration --- anyone know? I thought that this was suppose to be one reason why drugs from Canada are cheaper --- no overhead for the testing process. Do any of you presently use any of these drugs and do you think that you'll still continue use?

I use alleve, and will continue using it until I see real data saying it is dangerous for ME to use.

I can't seem to get the url function to work correctly, but according to this article, the issues with aleve are for someone taking it on a regular basis, over the long term.

I take it occasionally with pain. Big difference. It just doesn't worry me.

I believe the FDA approve these drugs are safe to take before there is really a long term use of them. If one read the side effects of drugs, they all seem somewhat harmful. They all have side effects. I wonder if this is actual, or some kind of conspiracy. If I was taking either one, and it helped me, I would continue. Cigarette companies keep making smokes and they know that's killing people.

It does kinda put us in a guinea pig situation, tho.
