NSAID drugs
are used for pain (Motrin, Advil, Motrin IB, Naproxen, Naprosyn, Aleve,
etc.). These drugs are NOT designed for long term use. If you're in
chronic ongoing or recurring pain, we may be able to help you and keep
you off these common but potentially dangerous drugs.
According
to the New England Journal of Medicine, NSAIDs use for pain (Motrin,
Advil, Motrin IB, Naproxen, Naprosyn, Aleve) leads to more than 103,000
hospitalizations for internal bleeding, and also cause 16,500
NSAID-related deaths yearly, at an
estimated cost of $15,000 to $20,000 per hospitalization. The annual
direct costs of such complications exceed $2 billion. [1] It is also
likel;y these deaths are under-reported.
According to this graph, NSAID-related deaths now equal all deaths cause by AIDs death, and appears to be killing 3 TIMES as many people as asthma!
