Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are often the initial treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. NSAID-induced inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) and cyclooxygenase-1 appears to correlate with clinical efficacy and toxicity, respectively. Newer NSAIDs with greater COX2 selectivity offer the promise of less toxic therapy.Entities:
