The all new all in one medicine could thwart arthritis patients from deadly gastric bleeding. Axoris is the first capsule medicine that provides pain relief and protects the stomach in one pill. Every year more than four thousand people develop stomach ulcer.
The stomach ulcer is caused due to taking of non-steroid and anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen. Nearly about seven hundred people die due to stomach year every year if not diagnosed early. These drugs are given as pain reliever.
But some patients are also supposed to take them as measure to prevent stomach ulcer because painkillers halt the body from producing the liquid that protects the lining of the stomach from acid. Though, many patients forget to take both or are reluctant to take two separate drugs.
Some people suffer life-threatening complication, explained lead researcher Professor Peter Hayes from Edinburgh University and the Royal Infirmary. Axorid restrains a painkiller and protective omeprazole, which decreases the levels of of stomach acid.
