RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CELEBREX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
5 | degenerative joint disease | none | I take 2 capsules a day for hypertrophic arthritis and had been in constant pain and could hardly walk. Am doing great now. | M | 58 | 1 years | 3/3/2001 | 5 | rheumatoid arthritis | acid reflux and stomach irritation in general | I was diagnosed with RA in 1991. My life came to a virtual standstill shrouded in excrutiating pain. I tried all of the nsaids, with no relief. Prednisone was my only relief (you want some side effects, take take stuff for 11 or 12 years). I began taking Celebrex when it first came on the market and it worked wonderfully. I was taken off the med for two weeks to check liver enzyme elevation and the RA pain returned with a vengance. Everything is a trade off. No pain/potential death. I've been able to live a very active life for many years thanks to Celebrex and Enbrel (another "dangerous" drug). I believe it to be a fair trade off. | M | 61 | 9 years | 2/3/2010 | 5 | Back & Leg Pain | NONE | I can't believe the DISSING this drug has taken by commenters. This drug was the first COX-2 breakthrough drugs...no crappy side effects like other NSAIDS...yes, I mean no Crap. This drug works great with me and I have taken it since it was introduced, in fact I told my RHUM-doctor about it first! I do only take it when I have pain not every day but when I do have sharp Arthritic pain I take it and voila in a couple hours I feel much better. THANK YOU CELEBREX FOR GIVING MY MOBILITY AND LIFE BACK! | M | 48 | 12 years 200mg 2X AN | 2/23/2011 | 5 | ankylosing spondylitus | None | Before my diagnosis i had severe stabbing pain deep in my left buttock,severe pain in my hip joint which made walking horribly painful,extreme lower back pain and my sternum was so painful i could hardly breath.As soon as i took my first Celebrex i had instant fast relief.I used to take it virtually everyday but now only when i have flare-ups.Wicked drug,i take it with food.Don't care about any side effects because without Celebrex i would be a limping 35yr old cripple.Unfortunately i was also given tramadol which i cannot stop using without severe withdrawal symptoms. | M | 35 | 2 years 200mg 1X day | 5/19/2012 | 5 | Pain on joints | Just started getting swelling of legs and uncontrollable high blood pressure | M | 58 | 8 years 200mg caps | 3/7/2013 | 5 | hip & lower back pain | I have no side effects that I can point to. I was taking 2 or 3 celabrex a week along with 3 pain pills a day and the pain did not go away. I started taking 1 cel. 200 mg a day and no pain pills and the pain went away. Great Drug!! No Side effects that I know of. I feel a lot better since I got off the pain pills. | Before taking this I would have to lift my right leg to get into the auto. It was that painful to try and do such small things. It was some times hard to get up from a chair. | M | 62 | 4 years | 10/18/2008 | 5 | Rheumatoid Arthritis | Change in bowel actions ( minor) | Of all the medications i take this one gives me the most relief. I am on 400mg a day. | M | 48 | 3 years | 11/23/2004 | 5 | Torn ligament, hip to coccyx | None so far. | Swelling gone after about 4 hours. Full range of motion returned in 24 hrs. Back to working out and running again. I'm in the Army and it allows me to keep up with my squad during intense training. | M | 33 | 6 days | 11/30/2004 | 5 | bursitis | light internal bleeding | works great, but take it in moderation | M | 37 | 2 years | 10/8/2004 | 5 | knee pain | no side effects have been noted | worked to relieve pain with in the first two hours | M | 44 | 5 days | 1/16/2003 | 5 | for spondylolisthesis | none noticed | I like taking it because I feel it definitely helps me feel better, but I am concerned that the effects of long term use are not known at this point. I plan to try to cut back my usage. | M | 58 | 3 years | 6/10/2002 | 5 | arthritis | none | does a great job controlling pain. qui taking it twice for one week, felt miserable,unable to function well | M | 68 | | 3/31/2005 | 5 | Plantar fascitis | None to speak of. | Dang insurance won't pay for it. | M | 38 | 1 years | 5/4/2007 | 5 | Arthritis in knee and foot | None | Works great - just as good as Vioxx before it was pulled from the market. After Vioxx I tried Naproxen for a while and it did nothing for me, so I asked my doctor for Celebrex. I can always tell if I miss a dose. | M | 49 | 3 years | 8/26/2008 | 5 | NONE AT ALL | This is a WONDERFUL DRUG. I just started taking for my serious bout with sciatica. My sciatic pain becomes almost dibilitating. I am taking 200mg celebrex once a day. My pain went from almost unbareable to almost non-existant. THANK YOU CELEBREX!!! | M | 33 | 4 days | 9/24/2008 | 5 | osteoarthritis spine | none | stopped working after 8-1/2 years. eventually I had sleepless nights from pain so primary physician switched me to arthrotec 75. | M | 54 | 8 years | 9/27/2009 | 5 | Knee Injury | None | I’ve been taking Celebrex for 10+ years with no side effects but GREAT pain relief. I’ve tried going off it on a number of occasions but with return of debilitating pain in my knee. As soon as I started taking it again the paid disappeared. I’ve read all the literature about the risks, but as long as the Celebrex keeps me from getting an eventual knee replacement and I have no life threatening side effects, I will continue taking it. | M | 60 | 10 years | 12/1/2009 | 5 | Three ruptured discs L3-L4-L5 | None that I am aware of. | I prefer celebrex! I took other NSAIDs and they simply didn't share the same pain reduction power of celebrex. I had no side effects. | M | 24 | 1 years | 1/17/2010 | 5 | No side effects | I have bad osteo and psoriatic arthritis. I have been on Bextra then Celebrex then Vioxx until it was removed from the market. Now back on Celebrex, total time on Celebrex about 13 years. No side effects, just had a heart exam and all is normal. I did have a problem with gastritis this year and the doctor put me on Omeprazole with the 1st dose of Celebrex and everything is back to normal. Bottom line is I can't function without Celebrex. It works wonders for me. I also have High Blood pressure and elevated lipids which have been under control for the last 30 years with medication. | M | 76 | 14 days 100 MG 2X day | 3/1/2014 | 5 | ankylosing spondylitis | Itchy forearms.... | Couldnt live without it.....otherwise my ribs, hips, sternum would be agony... | M | 38 | 5 years 200mg | 3/25/2015 |
CELEBREX (CELECOXIB): This medication is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), specifically a COX-2 inhibitor, which relieves pain and swelling (inflammation). It is used to treat arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual pain and discomfort. The pain and swelling relief provided by this medication helps you perform more of your normal daily activities. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section. This drug works by blocking the enzyme in your body that makes prostaglandins. Decreasing prostaglandins helps to reduce pain and swelling.
