What should you watch for while
taking Celebrex?
If your pain continues, inform your doctor immediately do not take
any pain-killers on your own without taking advice of your doctor. Call
your doctor if you get flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, muscle aches and
pains), do not take any medicine on your own.
Take Celebrex with a full glass of water, to reduce unpleasant effects on
your stomach. Inform your doctor immediately, if you notice black, tarry
stools or experience severe stomach pain and vomit blood or what looks like
coffee grounds
.It is recommended that for the prevention of heart attack or stroke, do
not take Celebrex instead of Aspirin. Before taking Celebrex consult with
your doctor if you are taking medicines that affect the clotting of your
blood, such as aspirin or blood thinners such as Coumadin. Take the aspirin
regularly if you are taking it for this purpose. Do not stop taking it without
consulting with your doctor.
You can have increased risk of having side effects from Celebrex if you
smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. These increase irritation to your stomach
and can make it more at risk to damage from Celebrex.
While taking Celebrex, do not take other prescription or over-the-counter
non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSIADs), such as ibuprofen (Advil®),
naprosyn (Aleve®), or ketoprofen (Orudis® KT). Stomach upset, heartburn,
nausea, vomiting or serious side effects such as ulcers are the side effects
that can be caused if Celebrex is taken with other NSAIDs. Before taking
any medicine along with Celebrex, carefully read the label and check it
that whether it contains NSAIDs. If it contains you should not take it along
with Celebrex.

drug (NSAID) known as a COX-2 inhibitor. Treatment of arthritis, acute pain,
and menstrual pain and discomfort are done by using Celebrex. It can also
