Celebrex

Celebrex (celecoxib) can be prescribed for the treatment of pain and inflammation that have been caused by a wide variety of conditions, such as menstruation and arthritis. Although Celebrex is a highly-efficient medicine, taking it may be associated with a number of mild or more serious side effects. The following ones are considered to be mild: headache, ringing in your ears, nervousness, diarrhea, bloating, upset stomach, itching, constipation, dizziness, and skin rash. You need to notify your doctor of any of the following serious side effects in case they occur: black, bloody, or tarry stools, severe tingling, clay-colored stools, chest pain, sore throat, problems with vision or balance, muscle weakness, shortness of breath, rapid weight gain, red skin rash, numbness, and dark urine. Beware of any of the following signs of blood circulation problems, as you will have to consult your health care provider as soon as possible in that case: shortness of breath, problems with vision, slurred speech, chest pain, and weakness. Your health care provider needs to be notified of any of the following health conditions you have been diagnosed with to prescribed the right dose: blood clotting disorder, a history of heart attack,, high blood pressure, heart disease, a history of a stroke, a seizure disorder, liver or kidney disease, a history of stomach ulcers, asthma, or congestive heart failure. You may need to take this drug just once, or be on a dosing schedule. If you have to take this medicine regularly, make sure you never skip or miss a dose, as it’s important to keep the amount of medicine in your bloodstream at the same level. Taking more of Celebrex than recommended is unlikely to make your treatment more effects and may produce such symptoms as shallow breathing, drowsiness, coughing up blood, fainting, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. If you get these symptoms of an overdose – make sure you seek emergency medical help and tell the doctor which drug you took too much of. Celebrex is not supposed to be combined with such drugs as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, blood thinners, lithium, heart or blood pressure medications, or fluconazole, as interactions are possible. Before you start using any new medicine – whether prescription or over-the-counter kind – it’s best to discuss this decision with your health care provider. Store Celebrex in a dark cool place where no one will access it.
