USPTO Abstract

A method of reducing the increased risk of cardiovascular events attendant with the use of COX or selective COX-2 inhibitors including restoring disrupted cholesterol metabolic function engendered by the use of the COX or selective COX-2 inhibitors and reducing the production of foam cells caused thereby. The disrupted cholesterol metabolic function is restored and the production of foam cells is reduced by the step of administering an adenosine A2A receptor agonist having a threshold level of activity of 0.1µM to a patient using the COX or COX-2 inhibitor. The adenosine A2A receptor agonist is administered orally in amounts sufficient to saturate the A2A receptor and at time intervals sufficient to maintain the restored cholesterol metabolic function.
