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.
