Nellie's Nest Eggs

Apr 04, 2007 - The other morning I went to the grocery to pick up some eggs to hard boil so I could decorate them with my girls, and they were out of Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs. I freaked for half a second, but then noticed another brand right next to them. I picked up a 6-pack of Nellie's Nest Eggs and read the label. - 5 Comments

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Highlights Risk with cardiovascular medications While nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the major medications responsible for causing peptic ulcers, drugs taken for cardiovascular disease and its risk factors may also cause ulcers. Recent studies have found an association between increased risk of ulcer and the following drugs:

Spironolactone, a common diuretic used in heart failure
Niacin, a drug used to lower "bad" cholesterol and raise "good" cholesterol
Vitamin K antagonists, commonly prescribed anticoagulants
Dipyridamole, a drug for secondary stroke prevention
Low-dose aspirin, prescribed for both heart attack and stroke prevention

Risk of peptic ulcer increases dramatically when these drugs are used in combination. Considering the millions of people who take these medications to prevent a life-threatening cardiovascular event, their impact on peptic ulcer development could be monumental. - 0 Comments
