celebrex
However, it will only prevent migraine headaches or reduce the number of attacks and will not treat a headache that has already begun. 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.
GI problems, rashes, and even heart problems are documented possible side effects of Celebrex and many other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. The GI problems are the most common and the heart problems and rashes are listed as being in the category of SEVERE side effects of the med and if you experience any of them, to contact your doctor right away. The anemia could be a result of stomach bleeding, which is also listed as a possible side effect.
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'm not sure if this will help you but it seems that Lyrica and Cymbalta shouldn't be used at the same time. Maybe talk to your doctor about taking one or the other. Also there is another medication in that class called Nuerontin, that may help as well. Good luck!

You would be
surprised at some of the possible side effects of this medication.
You can just tell your GP you don't want to take celebrex anymore
because you are concerned about the side effects. My mom was
given a sample package of celebrex. It made her very ill and she
stopped taking it almost immediately. Anyway, I hope my suggestions
have been helpful. I hope you feel better soon, Eve.

Usually the attending physician gives information regarding the possible side effect of the drug while prescribing the medication. It could also be Arthritis due to many causes. Are you the one suffering with or some one else? Hope to hear you back with these details or consult your doctor. Take care.
I called the Drs office today and he said these symptoms could not be from the med. I did research possible side effects a couple of days ago and these can indeed be side effects. Now, I'm not sure what to do. I was hoping he would recommend another med to try because on top of the stomach pain I'm having the bladder pain, tiredness and weakness. I guess my question is this. Has anyone had these side effects and if so did they go away?
re right they do come with some concerning side effects. When one has pain we weight the pros with the cons of medication. Most of us do what you have done, take the medication. I am glad that it has been effective for you.
My sister, also a nurse, uses Celebrex daily. She was informed several years ago that she should have a TKR. She is just 49 and has chose to put off the surgery for as long as medically possible.
Ok, I hate pill happy docs. I had one that gave me so many that interacted with my condition and caused me to (while driving) jump a curb, go airborne, hit a utility pole (at 50 mph) bounce off and rear end another. I can't copy all the information you need to see. But if you can get to www.drugs.com, there is a link for "interactions checker" at the top of the page, and you can enter your meds and then it will check the interactions.
sorry to jump in, but i had the impression that Celebrex was going to be taken out of the market for several reasons. It is not sold in South America because of that, since people were complaining about these symptoms you metion (upset stomach, etc) and one of them was "bouncing pain".
Amy, did they put you straight on Celebrex, or did you try other mild over the counter painkillers? i suffer from both AS and MS, and i take higher doses of Advil or any other Iboprufen around.
