John, it's ironic that the study was funded by Searle. This is old news, but the Washington Times and now the Philadelphia Enquirer have picked up the story. If this is a so-so drug, no one would be interested.

John, that "news" has been discussed for weeks and was mentioned on TV recently...go back in either this folder or the Yahoo folder.

The only reason this is being picked up is because of the success of Celebrex...if you sell Motrin you're not happy that 6% of the market went to a new drug in only two weeks!

I also understand the guy who did the study only took on a "negative spin" once he left UPenn...hmmmmmmm. And the study is only a theory which has been counter-proven by clinical trials over many people.
