Investigational drug found as

effective as NSAIDs for Arthritis Pain

Celebrex is thus expected to be the first in a new class of painkillers called "cox-2 inhibitors" to hit the U.S.
market.
Millions of people now depend on aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and a host of other pills
called "non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs," or NSAIDs. They're used for
arthritis, everyday aches, recovery from surgery and a myriad of other pains.
Many are available without a prescription; others come in higher-dose prescription-only strengths.
Searle's Celebrex, known chemically as celecoxib, is the first under FDA scrutiny. In studies of about 13,000 patients, it appeared to work almost as well as prescription-strength naproxen in patients with osteoarthritis. In rheumatoid arthritis sufferers, it appeared to work almost as well as another popular NSAID, diclofenac.
