Press Release Summary = The crisis over prescription and OTC anti-inflammatory drugs is deepening. Faced with the choice of stomach bleeding or heart attack, people are now forced to weigh the dangers of pain relievers against the benefits themselves.

Press Release Body = West Palm Beach, FL, February 2005-- Whether as a result of injury, sprains, surgery, muscle or joint flare-ups, pain and inflammation can be a distraction or even disabling. Pain and certain pain treatments can keep you from work, play, family needs – from your daily life – an issue when you have responsibilities and obligations you can’t ignore. Unfortunately, the medicines most
of us rely on to ease aches and pains have been shown to produce serious side effects – sometimes fatal.

• People taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs are nearly 4 times more likely to suffer from serious gastrointestinal events such as stomach bleeding than those taking no drug (Stanford Report, September 30, 1998)

• Over-the-counter pain relievers cause over 100,000 hospitalizations and more than 16,000 deaths per year in the U.S. (Source: American College of Emergency Physicians)

• Studies strongly suggest the entire class of COX-2 inhibitors – Vioxx®, Celebrex®, and Bextra® elevate the chances of heart attack and stroke

• Vioxx® may have caused up to 140,000 new cases of heart disease and up to 27,785 heart attacks or deaths since 1999 (Lancet, January 2005) In a desire to avoid side effects caused by these drugs, many individuals have turned to safer alternative therapies. As a result, extensive research has been undertaken into supplements that can benefit individuals with joint pain and inflammation. NuMova™ is such a product.
