That category of painkillers captured a $5 billion-a-year market on the celebrated promise that they were safer than older, cheaper analgesics like Tylenol or Advil. In this case, as the nation learned when Vioxx and Bextra were withdrawn and Celebrex got slapped with a black-box warning, we were paying a premium to trade a sizable risk of tummy trouble for a smaller but still troubling risk...
