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?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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
