Celebrex is a NonSteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) that relieves arthritis pain and stiffness. For lots of individuals, just one 200-mg dose of Celebrex is more than enough to give a one-day relief from arthritis. According to one estimate, on an average around one million prescriptions are filled for Celebrex on a monthly basis.
To determine the correct dosage of Celebrex for your body, it is quite important that you take the help of your health care provider. You can use Celebrex with low-dose aspirin. This is not the case with other prescription NSAIDs, which you cannot take with aspirin. Take the dose of Celebrex in exactly the same way as prescribed by your health care provider. If you are not happy with the results of Celebrex or experiencing some side effects, consult your health care provider immediately. This is important because ignoring side effects of Celebrex can lead to serious problems in the longer run.
As is the case with all prescription NSAIDs, Celebrex can enhance the possibility of a heart attack or stroke. If you have gone through heart surgeries in the past, don't use Celebrex. In some cases, regular use of Celebrex can lead to serious stomach and intestine problems. Pregnant woman and people with high blood pressure should not take the dose of Celebrex. When you take aspirin and Celebrex together, chances of bleeding and stomach ulcers increases. It is worth mentioning in this regard that Celebrex cannot act as a replacement for aspirin in terms of preventing stroke or heart attack. If you have any liver or kidney issues, stay away from Celebrex. |
