contrarresta/neutraliza
Explanation:
Los inhibidores de la COX-2 disminuyen el riesgo de eventos adversos gastrointestinales, pero aumentan los eventos cardiovasculares trombóticos. Es decir, el aumento de eventos trombóticos contrarresta el beneficio de disminución de eventos gastrointestinales.

compensan


Explanation:
Significa que el mayor número de acontecimientos adversos de tipo trombótico de los inhibidores de COX-2 compensa el menor número de problemas gastrointestinales que ocasionan.

Lo primero es una desventaja, lo segundo es una ventaja, y una compensa a la otra.

contraponer


Explanation:
Yo lo traduciría así: "lo que se contrapone al beneficio de la reducción de..." Creo "contrapone" expresa con mayor claridad que es un efecto negativo.
