- 6. COX-2 • VIGOR showed that Vioxx increased the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack or stroke, almost two-and-a-half times. Two other smaller studies also suggested a relationship between Vioxx and these conditions. CLASS indicated an increased risk for cardiovascular events in COX-2 users, but was inconclusive because of minimal data.
- 7. Nutritional Supplements • 1 CHONDROITIN reduces inflammation. This effect is explained by many action mechanisms. First, it causes a decline in pro-inflammation prostaglandins. Then, it inhibits many enzymes secreted by chondrocytes including elastase and hyaluronidase. These enzymes are responsible for the elimination of old cartilage, making room for the new one.

- 13. Nutritional Supplements • 7 BOSWELIA (active ingredient - terpenoids). Boswelia has been used to treat osteoarthritis. Boswelia behaves much like other NSAID’s (i.e., aspirin, Motrin, Celebrex) in that it decreases inflammation. It does so by decreasing the number of leukotrienes, one of the molecules responsible for causing inflammation.
- 14. Nutritional Supplements • 8 CURCUMIN Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) Turmeric is a spice from Asia, in the ginger family. It is mainly used in curries and as a yellow coloring agent in food. Its anti-inflammatory property in osteoarthritis may be due to its effect on the eïcosanoïd biosynthesis and the arachidonic acid pathway enzymes.
