New low dose NSAID just one alternative for Arthritis

LIGHTNING RELEASES (9/9/2014) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has expanded the use of a new version of diclofenac to manage osteoarthritis pain. Zorvolex, available only by prescription, is a low-dose nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID). It has been on the market since October 2013, when it was first approved to treat mild to moderate acute pain in adults.

Zorvolex was designed to address growing concerns about the potentially fatal side effects of all NSAIDs – particularly the increased risk of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal (GI) problems, including heart attack, stroke, GI bleeding, GI ulceration and GI perforation.

The FDA stresses there have not been any studies to show that Zorvolex reduces the cardiovascular and GI side effects associated with NSAIDs simply because it involves a lower dose. “We do not know if the dose reduction is sufficient to result in a difference because the company has not conducted any head-to-head safety studies with any other diclofenac product,” explains Sharon Hertz, the FDA’s Deputy Director, Division of Anesthesia, Analgesia, and Addiction Products.

Perhaps a more viable alternative to NSAIDS is the natural pain reliever from Australia, sold under the brand of Outback Pain Relief. Hailed by the Australian Natural Pain Relief Industry as one of the greatest natural pain relievers of all time, the Outback Series is manufactured using Australian essential oils of Eucalyptus (Analgesic) and Tea Tree Oil (anti-inflammatory).

Launched in late 2013 in the USA, the Outback Pain Relief is now available in all Walgreens stores across the country and the eye catching packaging sports the traditional Aboriginal colors, which reflects the traditional bush medicine upon which the technology is based.

Mark Linford, the CEO of Pain Away LLC, the company responsible for marketing Outback in the USA, says there are several distinct advantages with this all natural pain reliever.

“Outback contains only natural ingredients and does not adversely conflict with any other medications, making it an excellent choice for the elderly. Plus the product does not generate heat or cold and smells quite pleasant so as a topical it has great consumer appeal. The most important factor is the effectiveness of the product on all forms of arthritis, plus muscular pain including low back pain.”

“Plus we have absolutely no side effects and the product can be used as often as required, providing great flexibility to increase usage frequency if the pain is severe. Outback becomes a real lifestyle product and demand has been extremely strong” he said.
