Arcoxia

Sounds like the name of a planet in a sci fi story, but no, it's a Cox-2 inhibiting NSAID that was rejected by the FDA today. Definitely of note for what I do. Arthritis patients in Europe have been taking it for some time already. Definitely a strong reaction from post-vioxx days. Not to say it didn't deserve this vote, just was surprised as to the vote tally and how still little we truly know the full effects of our pain medications.
