ANS: B
COX 2 inhibitor NSAIDs have fewer GI adverse effects than salicylates or COX 1 inhibitors. Aspirin is one of the least expensive analgesics available. The anti-inflammatory actions of NSAIDs are caused by COX 2 inhibition; the unwanted adverse effects are caused by inhibition of COX 1. All these medications have adverse effects.
