摘要
The authors believe that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, in particular at higher dosages and for longer-term use, should not be a first-line therapy for patients who can tolerate alternative therapies. We urgently need further research to document the safety of long-term use of COX-2 inhibitors and nonselective nonaspirin nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
