E-drug: Diclofenac and Mefenamic acid (cont'd)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear E-drug colleagues,
It is surprising that so many people have simply forgotten why many
countries either refused or deleted "Ponstan" 20-30 years ago: The
well know risk of haemolytic anaemia, an adverse reaction which no
other NSAID causes. It was for that reason never marketed in Holland.
