Huvudbudskap
– COX-2-hämmare har varken bättre eller sämre effekt än traditionella icke-steroidala antiinflammatoriska medel
– COX-2-hämmare har lägre gastrotoxicitet än flera traditionella icke-steroidala antiinflammatoriska medel, men denna fördel suddas ut om patienten samtidigt använder acetylsalicylsyra i lågdos
– Den totala biverkningsfrekvensen är inte mindre med COX-2-hämmare.
