Cosmo, thanks for the feedback. The general consensus is that Celebrex may not be more effective than older drugs; the main benefit is the improved safety. Some arthritic suffers cannot tolerate NSAIDs (stomach irritations and bleeding ulcers). It is not expected that Celebrex and other Cox-2 inhibitors would get all the market share, as obviously those who well tolerate NSAIDs would have no need to switch.

Regards.

Anthony
