Heel Inc. Offers a Safe and Effective Homeopathic Alternative to Controversial Vioxx

Merck & Co. announced on September 30th that their arthritis drug, Vioxx, used by two million people around the world, is being pulled off the market after a study confirmed long-standing concerns that it raises the risk of heart attack and stroke. Merck has urged patients who are currently taking Vioxx to contact their health care providers to discuss discontinuing use of Vioxx and seek possible alternative treatments. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it would closely watch drugs in the same class as Vioxx, which would include Pfizer Inc.'s Celebrex, for signs of risk.

Zeel is manufactured and distributed by Heel Inc., one of the largest homeopathic pharmaceutical manufacturers in the world with distribution in over 60 countries. Zeel is used to temporarily relieve joint pain, improve joint function, and stimulate normal cartilage performance. It is particularly effective in relieving symptoms associated with degenerative arthritis, such as osteoarthritis and spondylarthritis. Available in ointment, tablet, oral vial and prescription injectable form, and virtually side-effect free, Zeel is non-habit forming, safe and effective for long-term treatment, very well tolerated and has no known interaction with other medications. Heel Inc. has several clinical studies on Zeel available upon request including Treating Osteoarthritis of the Knee: A Modern Homeopathic Medication Works as well as COX 2 Inhibitors.

The purpose of pharmaceutical therapy for osteoarthritis is to relieve pain, improve mobility, and prevent progression of inflammation. To achieve these results, analgesic and anti-inflammatory medications such as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), non-selective COX 1 inhibitors and selective COX 2 inhibitors are commonly prescribed. Patients taking COX 2 inhibitors have been reported to experience undesirable effects including edema, diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness, and gastric complaints. Zeel is used worldwide and remains at the forefront of homeopathic medicine. It is made up of a combination of 15 all natural active ingredients intended to provide relief of arthritic symptoms and support healthy connective tissues function.

Zeel offers a viable alternative to conventional drugs in treating mild to moderate arthritis. Due to its lower cost and the fact that it virtually eliminates the need for secondary medication to control adverse effects, it can also reduce the cost of long-term arthritis management.
