How rational are COX 2 inhibitors

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,The development of the -2 selective inhibitors was

intended to provide drugs that would offer the same pain relieving and

anti-inflammatory effects as the traditional NSAIDs without causing the gastric

ulcers that have been associated with the older drugs.Available coxibs include celecoxib,

etoricoxib (Arcoxia), and parecoxib.
