New Research Indicated Some Medications Could Delay Healing Process

Added March 22nd, 2006

In a new study data released at the 2006 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, it has been indicated that some medications could result in delays to the healing process if taken right after surgery. The research was carried out on animals and the medications in questions are certain anti-inflammatory medications.

The lead author of the study stated: "Rats treated immediately following surgical repair with COX-2 inhibitors, including Celecoxib (Celebrex) and Valdecoxib (Bextra), had weaker tendons and a higher percentage of tendons that did not heal compared to the control group."

He added: "With the nonselective COX inhibitors, such as naproxen(Aleve) and piroxicam (Feldene), the tendons were slightly weaker, but not merely nearly as marked as with the COX-2 inhibitor-treated group."

In the past other study results have shown that some medications can cause delays and ill effects when it comes to bone healing if they are taken right after surgery, and the same principles were used to perform this study.
