Avatar f tn Liver Cancer Cells Coaxed To Commit Suicide By Common Anti-Inflammatory The anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib, known by the brand name Celebrex, triggers liver cancer cell death by reacting with a protein in a way that makes those cells commit suicide, according to a new study. Researchers also found that the combination of celecoxib with each of two chemotherapy drugs killed more liver cancer cells in culture, making those combinations more effective than either drug on its own.
Avatar m tn A man aged 81 was taking celecoxib 100mg daily following knee replacement surgery for osteoarthritis. Three weeks after commencing celecoxib he developed jellybean-shaped loss of vision centrally in each eye. This occurred every day after his morning dose and lasted for a few hours. The celecoxib was stopped and there was no recurrence of the visual disturbance.
Avatar m tn t seen anything positive about Celecoxib. My question is how long should I wait until I start taking this on a regular basis. Because, I have had many alcoholic drinks in my time, but if I stay sober should I be able to take this within 2 weeks? I'm only saying that because I'm assuming it might be a good window opportunity for my liver to start healing!
Avatar f tn Ah thanks for your comment,, I have tried celecoxib and arcoxia as my doctors advised but I already got immune with this meds as they can't controll the pain anymore..
Avatar f tn That might be what he is referring too. It leaks a chemical that is a nerve irritant. It can cause alot of nerve pain. That may be it.
Avatar f tn I just did one after I fell and found out that I should not even be on half the medications I am on due to my Celecoxib. So I ended up falling the other day and really messed up my right ankle, low back, neck and right wrist. I was out camping with the hubby and so I took a couple of Benedryll to help me sleep since I was in so much pain...Very Bad Move, it dropped my Blood Pressure way down and caused me to be sensitive to the sun and get sunburned. I was so dizzy.
Avatar n tn What is the generic name, chemical name, classification and contraindications for Lyvoxil?
Avatar n tn The term "chemical imbalance" is not one that is as "specific" as people think. In fact, many normal people have chemical imbalances every day. In fact, when one's emotions overwhelms them to the point of saddness or anger - this is an (albeit temporary) example of chemical imbalance. Now, onto this issue. Let me first preface this by saying that I AM NOT a doctor.
Avatar m tn Celebrex or celecoxib, on the other hand, is used to treat pain or inflammation including headaches. Medication effect usually varies from one person to another. What is effective to one may not be as effective to another. It would be difficult to say which medicine has a better outlook. You can take the celebrex as an acute medication while the topamax may be your preventive medication. Discuss this with your doctor for proper management. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn Yes all saloons are supposed to be well ventilated by law. Your chemical balance can be different so yea. Be careful when doing a chemical treatment because you may not get the exact results you want.
604489 tn?1220023514 how's about celecoxib 100mg bd ok friend
Avatar f tn The same thing happened to me, Also have an allergy to Ibuprofen All of the Coxibs like celecoxib and even to ketarolac - as Dr_Veena said they do belong to NSAID group, however currently I'm very cautious in taking any drugs for headaches, different antipyretics like acetominophen and salicylates like aspirin.
Avatar n tn What has helped me the most is Celebrex (celecoxib); It is an anti-inflammatory and unlike over the counter ibuprofen it is safer for your stomach. You want to target reducing inflammation, instead of killing the pain (such as with Narcotics). If you simply kill the pain, you will revert to habits like poor seating position or movement patterns that can exacerbate the injury -- deadly cycle. Ice does this, as well.
Avatar n tn Yes Setraline is the generic form of the drug Zoloft. The CONCENTRATION and the CHEMICAL FORMULA of the drugs are the same for any dose that your doctor perscribes. Both forms work the same. The only difference is the Brand name Zoloft is produced by the company that originally held the patent for the drug. When the patent expires, others companies are allowed to produce the drug under thier own BRAND name, but the GENERIC name will always remain the same.

Avatar n tn H2O2 (chemical name for hydrogen peroxide) is a very strong chemical. It is used in wound healing to get rid of dead skin. You very well have debrided part of your sclera..the white part of your eye, or have done other damage to part of your eye. Go to the emergency room imediately!
Avatar f tn What is the name of the anti-depressant that claims it's a pain relivier too? I've seen the commerial for it but can't recall the name.
453731 tn?1225199508 You should not take acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, or NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) unless your doctor has told you to. NSAIDs include celecoxib (Celebrex), diclofenac (Voltaren), ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), indomethacin, naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), piroxicam (Feldene), and others. These medicines may affect blood clotting and could cause serious bleeding in your stomach or intestines. Avoid sudden changes in your diet. Vitamin K decreases the effects of Coumadin.
Avatar m tn So went to hospital a week ago and did x-ray and blood test. Doctor has given me Celecoxib 200 mg capsules twice a day for 14 days and a gel to apply on my shoulder. Few times when I'm out I missed applying the gel but never missed the capsules (although once I had the capsules 4 hours late). Today I received the x-ray image and report by email, and still waiting for the blood test report.
Avatar m tn And Actavis EL is what i had and the only difference is one chemical the brand name is Lactose and the generic is Lactose Mono hydrate, the rest of the Excipients or inert chemicals are the same. I have found TEVA is second best. MYLAN i have found MANY people with HUGE issues with them like they aren't even taking them at all...
Avatar f tn She gave me Ethical ciprobiotic Uro, and an antiinflamitory; Celeco, celecoxib 400mg. 2 to 3 hours later I am now peeing alot of blood. How concerned should I be, becuase I feel slightly wonky and a little scared. I cant get ahold of my friend to take me to the hospital and cant go out alone now becuase its late. Is this normal to pee blood? Is this prescription to high for me?
Avatar m tn Meloxicam is just a glorified Ibuprofen/Aleve med, so you could always try those OTC. You can take up to 800 mg Ibuprofen every 8 hours or 500mg of Aleve twice a day in it's place. Celebrex is a name brand drug and insurance companies hate those namebrands. lol Your doc can sometimes do a prior authorization, though, to get them to pay for it, which is basically paperwork explaining that you' ve tried other things and this is the only drug that works for you.
Avatar f tn I get the hair color that doesn't have the chemical smell I forgot the name but it says it on the box that it doesn't contain it.
