A recent study of 650,590 patients who treated their arthritis with NSAIDs reports that the use of NSAIDs increases the chance of heart attacks: Indomethacin/Indocin by 71%, Sulindac by 41%, Ibuprofen by 11%, Vioxx by 32% and Celebrex by 9%.

Hey JYY,

That link lead to a 'page not found' error. Do we need to be a member of medscape to read that article?

I just clicked on the above link which took me to the article. I did not receive the "page not found" error message like you did. I doubt one needs to be a member of medscape to read it. I also visually verified the correctness of url in the above posting. I copy the url here one more time, http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/506604?src=mp . If this doesn't work try typing in the url onto the address box to see if that works.
