E-drug: NSAIDS for dysmenorrhoea (cont'd)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't want to get into a debate about what is and is not evidence
based medicine. It is certainly true that people will have different
reactions to different drugs from the same therapeutic class, e.g.,
NSAIDs or ACE inhibitors. However, it is equally true that the basic
biological mechanism by which these drugs act is essentially the
same and that is that point that I made.
