COX-2 inhibitor could be safest anti-inflammatory drug for older people (p 1751)
A Canadian study involving over 130,000 older people in this week's issue of THE LANCET shows how the anti-inflammatory cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib may have a lower risk of congestive heart failure compared with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Non-selective,... view more (2004-05-26)
