Common Questions and Answers about Celebrex vs indomethacin
celebrex
It's been 11 days and I seem to be going through the norm. I am in a lot of back and joint pain. I am going to see my pain management doctor today. I take meloxicam for arthritis and I think I'm going to ask for a change. I have been told that Celebrex and Indomethacin is a good non narcotic combination. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
Yes i have and am on meloxocam. My pharmacist and I talked about Celebrex with indomethacin. I have not heard of the latter. I'm going to talk to my doctor on Friday about the change. I am a commercial refrigeration tech so I know I'm abusing my body everyday at work. But it's my trade for 25 years so here I am. Any feed back on the 2 drugs would be appreciated.
It’s a headache disorder that responds really well to Indomethacin (in fact for the most part it only responds to Indomethacin). In my case it only responds to Indomethacin. It took a year to dx me and in that time I tried many different treatments.
Some people are able to cut back on their dose of Indomethacin or stop it completely w/ no more headaches, I am unable to cut back or stop.
I have trouble tolerating Indomethacin and all NSAIDs.
Hemicrania continua respond to Indmethacin. Long term use of indomethacin can result in gastrointestinal adverse effects. Melatonin is a hormone secreted by pineal gland and is very similar in chemical structure to indomethacin without the risk of gastro intestinal side effects. That’s the reason melatonin is now being considered as an effective treatment option.
Patients with history of severe allergies are advised not to take melatonin in general.
Hope this answers your question!
Has anyone used Celebrex for their Crohn's? I have severe joint point pain and I have been told that Celebrex is a huge help for this. I am wondering about side effects and medicine interactions.
She is 64 but she also has osteoporosis and arthritis in her lower back. The back doctor just prescribed Celebrex, is this the safest drug for her? Also what should people with Hep C do to better care for their liver eventhough so far she seems to have a healthy liver. For the osteoporosis she is on Fosamax. She has been on it for several years. I am just afraid that too many potent drugs can be harmful for her liver.
I have been prescibed Celebrex for osteoarthris pain. Can it be taken every day for long term management of arthritis.

Can you take nexium one day and Prevacid the next? I am struggling to find something to help stop the burning in my chest and back. I started on Prilosec 4 years ago for GERD. When that didn't cover it, I was switched to Nexium. Then my primary switched me to Protonix 40 mg/daily. That worked for the last year. I tried taking Celebrex for a hip problem and that threw my reflux into overdrive! It's been 6 weeks and I can't get the flare under control.
Does anyone take celebrex?I started Prozak last week and they want me to take celebrex too. They say my liver can take it, (stage 2 fibrosis). But I am afraid of the NSAIDs in celebrex, any one else taking it? Oh, I am on Methadone too. I am having my first liver biopsy in the morning, so I will find out more about my liver. I am scared to death about it coz I have had so many problems lately.
No, it would be unheard of for Celebrex to damage your heart valve. Celebrex and similar drugs do cause high blood pressure in many individuals, though.
You might have gone forever and not known about the heart valve if you had not gotten high blood pressure from the Celebrex. Follow whatever advice the cardiologist gave you, and don't worry.
I never had high blood sugar but recently after a 10 day course of celebrex for an inflamed shoulder muscle my fasting blood sugar shot up to 137. I read that celebrex has this side effect. Is it reversible?
Trying a new drug for pain... Celebrex. I was on Diamox but could not tolerate it as it caused severe kidney PAIN. So, my PCP wants me to try Celebrex (3 days on, 3 days off). Anyone have any experience/knowledge of this med and, if so, how did you fare with it?
meds to help get and stay asleep and for depression. I was prescribed indomethacin to help with post-coital headaches. While this mostly aleviates the headaches, I still have symptons. I take my other meds at bedtime and always right b4 the indomethacin and go to sleep right after sex as this seems to help with the symptons.
If it lasts for more than 4 hours it could be chronic tension headache, chronic migraine or altered migraine or hemicranias continua. Indomethacin is the drug of choice in hemicranias continua. In fact the diagnosis is considered confirmed if a patient responds to Indomethacin. Since you are in menopausal age group then consult a gynecologist and rule out hormone imbalance and low estrogen as the cause of your headaches.
