Contradiction, even within the article. First it states:

Those especially worried about safety could try pain ointments first, said Dr. Richard Jermyn, director of the University Pain Care Center in Stratford, N.J. If they don't help, he suggests Tylenol, then naproxen or ibuprofen before resorting to Celebrex, a Pfizer Inc. drug in the same class as Merck & Co.'s Vioxx. He urges patients on any of those drugs to get liver and kidney function tests every six months

So the order from that paragraph would be tylenol, then naproxen or ibuprophen, and then Celebrex.

But the list shows:

1. Naproxen 2. Celebrex 3. Ibuprofen

So it puts Celebrex ahead of ibuprophen.

Go figure, LOL!

Tylenol has a very low overdose threshold for serious poisoning effects. Taken with alcohol, it can kill your liver. Compared to that, even a stomach ulcer is a walk in the park.
