In response to message posted by jazzbo:

The COX-2 inhibitors were developed for the very reason that they have less of the side effects of stomach and duodenal ulcers that are seen when using NSAIDs like aspirin. Therefore, all the articles I have seen would indicate that Celebrex would be safer that aspirin.
