Default Celebrex safer than Vioxx?

I read an article at http://www.arthritisdaily.com/html/celebrex.html that says Celebrex is not as risky as Vioxx. Does anyone know any more about this?

Thx,

Dave

The literature the company that makes celebrex tells me that at normal doses, there is some evidence of the same problems as vioxx (stroke, heart attack), but they are saying that the higher doses were causing the problem. In my opinion, if you can tolerated the naproxen and ibuprofen, go for it. Those are still safe at doses marked on the box.
