Over the next six months, cox-2 inhibitors are expected to be approved by the FDA. This new class of drugs, investigated as a safer alternative to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), is among the most highly anticipated medications to hit the marketplace. How health plans react...
The cox-2 inhibitors that are currently on the market in the U.S. are celecoxib (Celebrex) and valdecoxib (Bextra). The committee also agreed unanimously that Celebrex should be kept on the market for its current uses. Regarding Bextra, the committee voted 17 in favor of keeping this ...
Selective cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors were developed with the hope of producing lesser gastrointestinal (GI) side effects as compared with the conventional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Soon after their introduction into the market, the sales of celecoxib and rofecoxib went ...
Combining COX-1 and COX-2 Inhibitors Question Can both cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and COX-2 medications be combined for patients with osteoarthritis (OA) pain not relieved by high doses of either group alone? What would be a recommended starting combination and doses? Response from Robert Terke...

Non-selective NSAIDS act by suppressing both COX-1 and COX-2 activity, with generally no net effect on hemostasis. Selective COX-2 Inhibitors, by inhibiting COX-2 and allowing COX-1 activation (COX-1 is unopposed), have the potential for potentiating thrombosis and vasoconstriction. ?
The recent events have cast considerable suspicion over the cardiovascular safety of not just COX-2 inhibitors as a drug class, but also the entire NSAID category. Further evaluation will determine the future role of COX-2 inhibitors in managing patients with pain and inflammation. Time will tell...
