In developing countries, the sales of drugs withdrawn from major markets
by the manufacturer or even banned by regulatory agencies often
continue until the supplies are exhausted. I believe that Beserol may be one of these. The specific reason was a high number of cases of a necrolitic skin disorder. This is also seen with other drugs still in the market, but the problem was a lot more with this one.
The reason that it may be associated with anemia is that, like other medications that mediate prostaglandin inhibition, it can cause gastrointestinal bleeding.
Jmaz98,
It would indeed be wise for your mother-in-law to stop taking this stuff. Her doctor may be on to something. It can also mess up the liver and cause neuropsychiatric symptoms, among a lot of other nasty things.
