What is Celebrex?

Celebrex is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID) that is used to reduce pain, swelling, and soreness.

Celebrex is a medicine for:

  • relief of osteoarthritis
  • relief of rheumatoid arthritis in adults
  • management of acute pain in adults
  • treatment of menstrual pain
  • reduce the number of colon and rectum growths in patients with a disease called Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP).

People using Celebrex will probably increase their chance of having serious heart problems or a heart attack.

Who should not take Celebrex?

Do not take Celebrex if you:

  • have had an allergic-type reaction to sulfa medicines
  • have had asthma, hives or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAID medicines
  • are allergic to Celebrex or to any of the ingredients in Celebrex

Side Effects of Celebrex

Celebrex can cause stomach ulcers, heart problems, liver damage, swelling of the face, problems breathing, fluid retention, kidney problems, problems swallowing, headache,
indigestion, upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea, sinus inflammation, stomach pain, nausea, and stomach bleeding.

Emergency Side Effects

  • a burning stomach pain
  • black bowel movements that look like tar
  • vomit that looks like blood or coffee grounds
