Milk Protein Negates Side-Effects of Anti-Inflammatory Drugs

Posted by Dr. Teeth 9 June, 2008 (1) Comment

In a significant breakthrough, biotechnologists at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) have found that a protein present in milk negates the side-effects of anti-inflammatory pills - the most frequently prescribed drugs all over the World for acute inflammatory disorders.

The researchers, who have been working on the project for the past 15 years, have established that lactoferrin, a protein present in the human, bovine, camel and goat milk exerts a protective effect on anti-inflammatory drugs.

Chronic administration of common anti-inflammatory drugs like nimuslide, paracetamol, aspirin, diclofenac and ibuprofen according to experts lead to gastric and intestinal injuries. “These drugs are most frequently prescribed but their chronic administration leads to damage of gastroduodenal mucosa resulting in gastric and intestinal injuries, which include peptic ulcers and formation of structures within small and large intestines,” said Prof. Tej P. Singh, a biotechnologist at the department of biophysics in AIIMS.

Techno-Medical Student

I had no work other than wandering around medical blogs today morning until i stumbled upon a Medical student Johnny, who’s an active problogger and a techno geek. Another Malaysian friend on my list currently pursuing his medicine in Russia (must be having a jolly ride in the icy climate).

Well, Johnny started blogging in late ‘06, technology being his fave; here you go, these days i see so many medico’s confirming their technology enthusiasm, is it because of the fast and rapid changing environ or either they are bugged up with the medical standards prevailing around the world, either ways its good to see a medico taking part as a techno geek, since full time technology professionals do not even have the chance of entering medical fraternity; pity you guys.
