John, it is estimated that one-third of patients who need a NSAID cannot tolerate them. In Canada alone, 1,400 to 1,900 die from the side effects associated with NSAIDs every year. 10 million Canadians each year receive a prescription for NSAIDs and 10 to 15% will develop ulcers as a reult. 1 to 2 per cent will suffer a perforated bowel.
