you always have to look at how ace inhibitors react to drugs. Drs dont do it. I was given Cox2 inhibitors to deal with an inflammation issue. bad news drug. one of them has a black box label. not sure about the other.
warning label says beware when using ace inhibitors
I am going to have to figure out a plan .
I trust nothing about drugs. One day a cox inhibitor is fine for you and the next they pull it from the market because it is unsafe.
Hope you are able to find something that gives you relief. I’ve been taking Piroxicam for several years without issues. It doesn’t get rid of the inflammation completely, but when I’ve had to stop taking it before surgeries, I realize just how much it does help.
What is causing your need for a Cox2 inhibitor?
Instead of treating the pain, consider a supplement that reduces it at the source.
Glutathione is a useful option for both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.
Rheumatoid study:

Don’t worry about finding glutathione. Instead, consider getting glycine and N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and take them in equal doses. This is called “GlyNAC” and is a patented combination that Nestle bought the rights to.
Nestle has people taking 1,200 mg of glycine and 1,200 mg of NAC a day. It is less than what two studies used for some remarkable cardio and brain function enhancements for older people, but it should be helpful. Nestle charges a lot for that combo, but you can make it pretty cheaply from purchasing from a health food store or Swanson Vitamins, among others.
Another item that Nestle has, but does not own the patent on, is Urolithin A.
I have previously posted study threads on these two supplements (GlyNAC and Urolithin A), if interested.
