NSAID Q & A

In one of your recent newsletters, there was drug information regarding a topical NSAID medication that proved effective for some type of arthritis. What was important in the article was that it was safe for people who have GI sensitivity to oral NSAIDs. Can you please provide this info again as I have misplaced my newsletter and my doctor is unfamiliar with the topical NSAID drug.

I am a PT and I had heard at one time that long term use of NSAIDs can have a degenerative effect on joints. Are you familiar with any information regarding this effect?

I have been on Arthrotec for about a year now. How long can I saftely take this or any other NSAID before I get problems with my stomach.

What kind of side effects can I expect from Meloxicam?
