Frequently asked questions about CELEBREX
®
(celecoxib)
*Individual results may vary; this dosing is for osteoarthritis.
Why should I consider CELEBREX?
Just one 200-mg CELEBREX can provide
24-hour relief for many with arthritis pain
and inflammation.*
In clinical studies with osteoarthritis patients,
CELEBREX was proven to improve daily physical
function so moving is easier.
In fact, CELEBREX improves pain, stiffness, and
physical function.
CELEBREX is not a narcotic.
CELEBREX can be taken with or without food so
you don’t have to plan around it.
Can I take low-dose aspirin with CELEBREX?
Yes, if you are taking low-dose aspirin for your heart
and need an NSAID pain reliever, CELEBREX can
be used because it doesn’t interfere with aspirin’s
antiplatelet effect.
However, taking low-dose aspirin may not reduce
the cardiovascular risk associated with NSAID use.
With any NSAID, including CELEBREX, patients also
taking aspirin are at an increased risk for stomach
bleeding and ulcers. CELEBREX is not a substitute
for aspirin in preventing heart attack or stroke.
What about stomach upset?
You may be interested to know, in clinical studies,
a lower percentage of patients taking CELEBREX
reported stomach upset (including indigestion,
abdominal pain, and nausea) versus prescription
ibuprofen and naproxen.
However, all NSAIDs, including CELEBREX, increase
the chance of stomach and intestine problems, such
as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without
warning and may cause death.
Are there cardiovascular risks associated with CELEBREX?
The FDA requires all prescription NSAIDs, including
CELEBREX, ibuprofen, naproxen, and meloxicam, to
have the same cardiovascular warning.
They may all increase the chance of heart attack
or stroke, which can lead to death. This chance
increases if you have heart disease or risk factors
for it such as high blood pressure or when NSAIDs
are taken for long periods.
How should I take CELEBREX?
It’s important to take CELEBREX as your doctor
prescribes. If you experience side effects, speak to your
doctor immediately. Your doctor can help determine the
correct dosage and length of treatment for you.

Indications:
CELEBREX is indicated for the relief of the signs and symptoms of
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, and for
the management of acute pain in adults.
Important Safety Information:
Like all prescription NSAIDs, CELEBREX may increase the

long periods.
CELEBREX should not be used right before or after certain
heart surgeries.
Serious skin reactions, or stomach and intestine problems
such as bleeding and ulcers, can occur without warning and

increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers.
Tell your doctor if you have:
• A history of ulcers or bleeding in the stomach or intestines
• High blood pressure or heart failure
• Kidney or liver problems
CELEBREX should not be taken in late pregnancy.
Do not take CELEBREX if you’ve had an asthma attack, hives, or other
allergic reactions to aspirin, any other NSAID medicine, or certain drugs
called sulfonamides.
Life threatening allergic reactions can occur with CELEBREX.
Get help right away if you’ve had swelling of the face or throat or
trouble breathing.

lowest dose possible and for the shortest time needed.
