E-DRUG:  RFI: Nimesulide ADRs? (6)
----------------------------------

Dear Dr Agarwal,

The medical profession also needs to own up their prescribing practices.
When the proof is overwhelming, why these drugs need to be prescibed, when
alternatives are available. Once the docotrs stop prescribing, the
pharmaceutical companies have no option but withdraw them.

Legislative measures alone will not be very effective.
