Drugs that inhibit cyclooxygenase-1 can cause adverse reactions in gastrointestinal tract and kidney, and their antiplatelet activity is also related to the inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1. On the contrary, drugs that inhibit cyclooxygenase -2 mainly produce anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, and their analgesic/anti-inflammatory effects are similar to those of traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, but the incidence of adverse reactions is reduced. The drug is a specific cyclooxygenase -2 (COX-2) inhibitor, so it has analgesic/anti-inflammatory effects, and the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions is less.
