that paracetamol should be the first-line
analgesic agent due to its favourable. Side effect and safety
profile despite being, somewhat less effective in pain
relief than anti-inflammatory drugs. Cyclooxygenase-2
.(COX-2) - selective anti-inflammatory drugs were developed
with the goal of delivering effective pain relief
without the. Serious gastrointestinal (GI) side effects linked
with traditional non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs).? Clinical trial evidence supported
these benefits and COX-2, inhibitors were, widely adopted
both in clinical practice and. In official guidelines.Recently
accumulating, data have linked COX-2 inhibitors with
serious cardiovascular and / or cardiorenal effects and / or
serious. Cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), particularly
at anti-inflammatory doses or when used long term.
Regulatory authorities. In both Europe and the USA have
responded to these data with the withdrawal of rofecoxib
and valdecoxib and the, strengthening. Of prescribing
.Advice on all anti-inflammatory drugs. COX-2 inhibitors
and non-selective NSAIDs should now be used with
increased caution. In patients at increased cardiovascular
and / or, cardiorenal risk e.g, patients with congestive heart
