Efficacy of
Cyclooxygenase-2-Specific Inhibitors



COX-2 specific agents superior to placebo
and equivalent to conventional NSAIDs
COX-2 specific inhibitors offer advantages
over conventional NSAIDs on the basis of
decreased toxicity but not in terms of efficacy.
The role and guidelines for the use of COX-2
inhibitors should be based on toxicity and
other issues.

Key Points




NSAIDs are effective in the management of pain by
interrupting prostaglandin synthesis.
Tylenol is an effective medication in the
management of pain but it has no anti-inflammatory
action.
COX-1 and COX-2 Inhibitors have similar efficacy
in the management of pain.
NSAIDs have significant side effects and
patient/family teaching is an integral component of
the treatment plan.
