Arthritis help: A new drug won't cause gastric bleeding as some pain relief pills for the condition do (posed by model)
A new all-in-one drug could help prevent arthritis sufferers from fatal gastric bleeding.
Taken as a 46p daily capsule, Axorid is the first medicine to deliver pain relief and protection to the stomach in one pill.
Around 4,000 people develop stomach ulcers every year through taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen; 700 die.
The drugs are prescribed for pain relief, but patients are also supposed to take another medication to prevent stomach ulcers (because painkillers stop the body producing the liquid that protects the stomach lining from acid).
However many forget to take both, or are averse to having two separate medications with sometimes life-threatening complications, says Professor Peter Hayes of Edinburgh University and the Royal Infirmary.
Axorid contains a painkiller and protective omeprazole, which reduces levels of stomach acid.
It was licensed in the UK in January.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
