摘要
Intolerance reactions due to the ingestion of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequent emergencies. It is thought that inhibition of the isoenzyme cyclooxygenase type I (COX-1) is responsible for the common NSAID-associated adverse effects, whereas inhibition of COX-2 is mainly responsible for the therapeutic effects. The goal of our study was to estimate the frequency of intolerance reactions due to ingestion of the two newly approved selective COX-2 inhibitors, rofecoxib or celecoxib. In a sample of 13 patients who had previously documented NSAID hypersensitivity reactions to non-selective COX inhibitors, 2 patients (15.3%) showed intolerance reactions (2 of 9 patients with rofecoxib, 1 of 5 patients with celecoxib). These drugs cannot therefore be administered uncritically to patients with known NSAID hypersensitivity. Selective COX-2 inhibitors can only be used as alternative drugs in these patients after assessing their specific tolerability in a properly performed provocation test.
