Talk:COX-2 inhibitor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Firstly, I know this reads like a plagiary of an article, but it's a review I wrote not copyright anywhere, so that's not a problem. Secondly, it is totally unwikipediafied and in need of same. I'll get around to it sometime, but anyone who wants to chip in in the meantime is welcome. User:Gzuckier, unsigned on 2 July 2004.

It is still far from perfect, and it still original research poorly adapted to Wikipedia. Thankfully Berek has linked some terms, but I would warmly encourage you to follow some very basic Wikipedia style conventions. JFW | T@lk 19:30, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I do mostly, but I just had this and I thought maybe people could get some use out of it but didn't have the time to rework it myself. (Still don't; maybe later). Meanwhile, people are doing a good job whacking at it. Wiki works! Gzuckier 14:00, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I deleted some information about the law firm handling the Vioxx litigation. It sounded like an advertisement to me. The last thing we want to see in Wiki is an advertisement for class action lawsuits. I didn't delete the entire entry. If others think that the law firm's name should be deleted, I say go for it. Maybe a discussion of the litigation or a link to a page about the litigation would be more appropriate. -Andrew

This marvalous report clarify a lot of concern regarding NSAIDs & COX-II inhibitors. The question remain open what is risk /benefit ratio of using NSAIDs or COX-II. Patient on short term treatment as in acute painful conditions, has lower risk of developing AEs but the problem is in patient with long term as OA or RA?

NSAIDs +PPI or/ H2A may be a safe alternative to have efficacy witout GIT side effect But the question is still open is it Prostaglandin issues- what about Asprin which is now routinely with all patients with CV risk of thrombosis despite it block both COX 1 & 2

Is the solution to combined Coxib with Aspirin? -- random editor?
