SIDE EFFECTS Gateway (OTCBB:GWDB) The number of people taking NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Definition Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are medicines that relieve pain, swelling, stiffness, and inflammation. , such as aspirin, Ibuprofin, etc.) increases every year, but concern about ulcer complications and intestinal bleeding may be decreased with the use of lactoferrin. At least 3 billion dollars are spent on oral analgesics Analgesics Definition Analgesics are medicines that relieve pain. Purpose Analgesics are those drugs that mainly provide pain relief. , with about 60 percent of these including NSAIDs. Seventy percent of people over 65 take one dose of NSAIDs every week, and 50 percent take seven doses a week! The biggest risk factor is a history of a complicated ulcer. Other risk factors for NSAID-associated ulcer complications include: --Aspirin --Taking multiple NSAIDs --High-dose NSAIDs --Anticoagulants --Past history of uncomplicated ulcer --Being older than 70 --Taking steroids The good news is that orally administered lactoferrin is effective at preventing acute NSAID-induced increases in gut bleeding and other negative metabolic activity. Protection by lactoferrin of the intestinal tract from NSAIDs appears to be linked to the lessening of the migration of certain cells to the intestine. The lactoferrin does not bind to the NSAID or interfere with the NSAID biological activity. Researchers conclude that orally administered lactoferrin is effective at preventing NSAID-induced intestinal problems, which is very good news to those who look to NSAIDs for pain relief from arthritis, among other health challenges.
