celebrex with plavix

Since that time, I have had problems with chest pain and stomach pain, along with a host of other pains. I had a second cath to look at my heart because of the chest pain and the heart was said to be fine. Having a hard time sleeping at night and anxiety is building because of the pain. Anyone else have these issues? Also, is there a blood test that can be given to see if the Plavix even works for my gene make-up?

t appear to interfere with Plavix, but Plavix is a drug that has a lot of contraindications, so I would be careful about most anything I took if I was on Plavix. So if your doc has no idea, as I suspect is the case since moringa isn't commonly known or used in the western world, I would probably try to find an ayurvedic physician. Heck, write Deepok Chopra, he's the most famous ayurvedic physician in the world.

I am taking 200mg of Celebrex daily for knee pain and I have Hep C. My hep doc sees no problem with it. Sometimes I take two, if I am going to be skiing or riding my bike hard; I'm just hoping that's OK! My two liver biopsys (5 years apart) have been normal.

My father was supposed to be in Washington DC this weekend with the Honor flight organization, as a WWII vet. Instead, he has been in the hospital since Friday. His story is one worth repeating so we remember that it is important to report changes in our health to our doctors, no matter how small it may seem to us. You may remember I had taken him for an MRI in early-May. He had been having memory and vision problems. Those tests showed nothing wrong.

We discussed Celebrex in detail and the head of hepatobilliary department at Shands, who writes a lot of the research you see, said he has absolutely no problem with me taking Celebrex long term. I am a hepper with cirrhosis, I have a healthy heart and well controlled hypertension. I think as long as your mom doesn't have heart issues and she gets regular physian followups that she will benefit from Celebrex. I know I do.

I had had a problem with anti flams for a while and i new i couldnt take celebrex as i had terrible cramps in my stomach. My doctor gave me the meloxicam by mistake, he done it again the other day but luckily i spotted it and he apologised and changed them to etoricoxib. Please be careful when you are given pain relievers and anti flams. Ime really worried about taking these etoricoxib even tho i was assured by the receptionist that they are not in the same family as celebrex and meloxicam..

my gi didnt even know the dose to celebrex so i doubt he knows if its good to my liver! im telling yall hes stupid and i need to find a new dr asap!

I have been prescibed Celebrex for osteoarthris pain. Can it be taken every day for long term management of arthritis.

t done up front, or at least a test to check response - it was just by happpenstance I looked at the genetic test I had done for different reasons two years ago and it had a drug response section. if not for this I would still be on plavix with a much higher chance of problems.

The usual regimen after a DES (drug eluding stent) is one year on plavix to help prevent blood clots with aspirin and after one year continue with just aspirin (87 mg). However, pooled data from randomized trials show that coumadin reduces the risk of stroke from 4.5 percent to 1.4 percent per year in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and no history of stroke or transient ischemic attack.

t thinning the blood? With the aspirin and Plavix load you are taking, I would be just a six foot bruise walking down the street.

My Dr mentioned me going on plavix and staying with my aspirin even though i just had a scope and was found to have rectal bleeding... to correct this would mean a hemoroid operation which my insurance does not cover so insurance kinda plays a role in the decision also. My Dr also says he would go with the bare metal stent or stents rather than the coated so I could stay on the plavix for only 1 month.... thanks again ed and kenkeith...

t really understand the doc not wanting to do the surgery. I had bypass surgery and got 2 stents installed while on Plavix with no problems at all. I think the risk is controlling the bleeding, but it must not really be that big a problem. Gall bladder removal is not the big deal it used to be. One lady I know had it done and just spent one night in the shop--almost like an outpatient surgery--and she was on Plavix. I think they had her not take it just for a day or two before the surgery.

The risk is excessive bleeding, and the benefits don't outweigh risk after a year with aspirin and plavix regimen. Internal bledding can be deceptive and life threatening before there are any symptoms and require an emergency treatment. There is no medical published literature that supports excessive doses of an antiplatelet medication. I take 67mg aspirin and discontiued plavix a year after the stent implant 7 years ago.

I was on Celebrex for 15 months (I was on treatment for 18). The problem with Celebrex is that long term use can be hard on the heart.

I agree with Kenkeith. My husband only had to take his for one year after stenting. I've also never heard of a stent collapsing if not on the Plavix, it's used to prevent blood clots after stenting which has nothing to do with the stent collapsing.

My cardiologist would not let my dentist allow me to stop taking Plavix for even 5 days to alleviate my pain due to a cavity .The dentist is bent upon my discontinuing Plavix to enable filling of the cavity or do root canal to solve the problem.

Has anyone on this board ever go off of plavix for surgery after having a DE stent. I am 2 yrs post stent in the LAD. I have gallstones and need to have my gallbladder removed. My Cardio wants me on the plavix indefintely, so will not give me the ok to stop the plavix for 10 days and the Surgeon will not do the procedure with me on the plavix. I'm in a no win situation. My symptoms are not that severe yet, Does anyone have any suggestions or advice.

I have noticed no real problems on plavix. I think the only problem comes if you require further surgery. Stenting is fine with plavix, they gave me 600mg before my last angioplasty.

I am taking plavix for 10 years for a long history with heart problems. Stent,heart attack etc.. I am wondering how long a person should be on this.
