The beauty of Cox-2 inhibitors, like Vioxx and Celebrex, is that they don't cause internal bleeding, like regular NSAIDS. It doesn't matter to most people, but if you have to take NSAIDS every day, something like 40,000 people are hospitalized every year in the US for internal bleeding caused by NSAIDS and 3,000 die. I have rheumatoid arthritis and take a lot of pills. Ibuprofen used to really tear up my stomach, so I am very happy with Celebrex. The FDA won't let Searle Pfizer say it, but Celebrex actually kills pain much much better, too. It's so subjective I don't think they can measure it meaningfully, it's just anecdotal. I am also glad my HMO lets me have it for $7 a bottle, the street price is ridiculous (roughly $300).
