The importance of the problem of anti-inflammatory drug toxicity comes into perspective when it is recognised that there are approximately 40 million people in the United States suffering from arthritis (Emmitt, 1975). About half of this population is under medical care and the other half is self-treated; of those under medical care, one-third require chronic drug administration, and the remainder, intermittent administration. Arthritis is a prevalent disease worldwide: if there were a 10% incidence of drug-related side-effects (a conservative estimate), there would be the possibility of drug-induced toxicity in 5 million patients per year of those under medical treatment, and at least twice this number for those patients who would self-administer an anti-inflammatory drug such as aspirin.
