Vioxx... (rofecoxib tablets)

[supergirl]

from what i hear it is a good muscle relaxer.. I got a few, but how much is too much? My neck has been killing me, but i don't want to fall asleep or become zombified.

Its not a muscle relaxer...its an anti-inflammatory that was developed for arthiritis..seems to work ok for me..

Vioxx, like Celebrex is a selective cyclooxegenese 2 enzyme inhibitor (COX-2). This enzyme manifests itself in inflamation associated with rhumitoid arthritis (sp). Compounds that selectivly inhibit COX-2 are better than non-steroidial anti-inflamatory drugs (NSAIDs) like apirin which also inhibit the COX-1 enzyme which maintains healthy lining of stomach and intestines (thats why things like aspirin lead to upset stomachs and ulcers when used over the long term). There are better choices for muscle relaxers (cheaper ones too).
