This article relates to my biology class by the immune system. We have learned about how arthritis attacks the immune system. This arthritis drug "combines a painkiller with an ulcer medication." Doctors and Scientists are coming up with new antidotes for diseases, injuries, and abnormalities. This combination of drugs is something that I think is amazing and interesting. I would think that the mixture of two different drugs for the same purpose would be somewhat dangerous, but I guess not.
