I love it, especially the price. My doctor said it's not that great on the heart either but none of the RA meds are.But it is not as bad as Vioxx and it's an old drug. It does have some stomach issue warnings also but it has never bothered me. It does make food taste like warmed over crap until you get used to it though. I hope it helps you.

I'll include my usual disclaimer about NOT combining any NSAID with steroids such as Prednisone and Dexamethasone, wich can also be used short term for Allergic reactions.
I hope no one is thinking I would suggest using a human 'script for their dogs. Or that I was considering it.
