Effectiveness
How Tolectin Affects PatientsTolmetin is a type of medicine used to reduce inflammation, pain, and fever. It has been studied in animals and found to be effective in preventing arthritis and relieving inflammation. In people, tolmetin has been found to be just as effective as aspirin or indomethacin in treating conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, but with fewer side effects. Additionally, when taken in combination with other treatments like gold salts or corticosteroids, tolmetin has been found to provide additional therapeutic benefits. Unfortunately, taking tolmetin with salicylates is not recommended,
How Tolectin works in the bodyWe don't know exactly how tolmetin works. Tests in animals and humans show it reduces inflammation by stopping the production of prostaglandins. This reduction may be responsible for its anti-inflammatory effect. Tolmetin does not seem to change the course of the underlying disease.

What was Vioxx used for?
"What is Vioxx?
Vioxx is a medication used to relieve pain. It belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Vioxx is a COX-2 selective NSAID, which means it works by specifically targeting an enzyme known to cause pain and inflammation. Vioxx is related to other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen, but it is more selective in its actions. Vioxx is a prescription medication used to relieve arthritis pain, acute pain in adults, and painful menstrual cycles."
