A member asked:
Are cox 2 inhibitors completely free from side effect of gastritis/ulcer?or they only reduce the risk? why doctors still prescribe plain nsaids like diclofenac,advil if selective cox-2 are so great? should a sensitive person take ppi along with cox 2?

Selective Cox-2 inhibitors were associated with increased risk of heart disease, in a controlled trial. Visit this site for info: https://www.uspharmacist.com/article/cardiovascular-risk-associated-with-nsaids-and-cox2-inhibitors

Do selective cox2 inhibitor nsaids completely eliminate the risk of ulcer/gastritis? OR it only reduces it by a certain percentage. Should a person with sensitive stomach still take a ppi along with selective cox2 for protection?
If stomach ulcer/gastritis is caused by use of nsaid. Can it heal itself without the help of a proton pump inhibitor if nsaid is stopped completely?
Is ppi superior than H2 blocker to heal nsaid induced gastritis/ulcer if taken symptomatically(only when pain in stomach). I did not take it everyday.
In order to protect the stomach while talking nsaids like naproxen, diclofenac or the selective cox2 inhibitors like celecoxib, meloxicam. The proton pump inhibitor should be taken once a day or twice a day?
Why most of the doctors prefer to use ppis to "treat"(hide the symptoms) gerd, gastritis and ulcers instead of misopostrol that is a way less harmful?
