Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

COX-2 inhibitors, such as celecoxib, have been associated with an increased risk of stroke and myocardial infarction (MI). This is why the American Heart Association recommends caution when prescribing this class of drugs to patients with a higher risk of cardiovascular events. Ibuprofen, naproxen, and diclofenac are all nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), but their risk of cardiovascular events is lower compared to COX-2 inhibitors. RANKL inhibitors, such as denosumab, are not associated with an increased risk of stroke or MI.
