The Bextra debate

One criticism of Bextra and other COX-2 nonsteroidal anti-infalmmatory drugs is that they were sold with a one-size-fits-all dosage for osteoarthritis, unlike traditional NSAIDs that come in a variety of sizes and doses. So, in the words on one critic, "your 90-year old grandmother with arthritic hands will receive the very same, super-strong dosage as Shaquille O'Neal will receive for his arthritic toe."
