Abstract

The recent advice to doctors from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to stop prescribing a whole class of drugs (selective COX-2 inhibitors) has come as something of a shock to most people. For patients who have been taking these drugs – well over 1 million people according to press reports – it has been a source of considerable concern.It will also have further shaken the public's already weakened trust in the MHRA's ability to protect them from big business (i.e. pharmaceutical companies).
