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.   FDA Approval Date: 2002-08-29 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  hip pain veritgo, numb feet and arms, nausea, slurred speech, shaking, panting, paralysis My side effects came within an hour of taking second pill. I was taken to the ER and released with paperwork stating adverse reaction to Celecoxib. I hope no one ever has to experience this. Absolutely ridiculous side effects for anyone to experience. and I want my money back for medication and co pay for ER and all the tests that were run! Two days later and my arms are still numb and head is not clear. F 47 1 days

 1  joint pain About 30 minutes after taking Celebrex with milk, I felt an explosion in my chest, broke out in an itchy allergic rash accompanied by dysphoria, heart palpitations, and closing of the throat. That was 8 weeks ago. Since then, I've had one episode of nausea accompanied by cold sweats, heart palpitation and dysphoria to the point of almost passing out. In fact, I had all of the symptoms of a heart attack. I choose to go to the emergency room. My heart passed with flying colors but the symptoms haven't gone away. When I told the Doctor at the ER what I had taken, along with my history since, he shook his head and said I was lucky. My real problem is gastrointestinal. Right now, I suffer from gurd, accompanied by pain in upper left, middle and left sections of the abdomen. I have never suffered gastrointestinal problems in my life! At this point, I can't even eat a couple of tablespoons of tuna without experiencing heart burn and worse. I will be going to a regular doct I would not recommend Celebrex to anyone for anything, not because it doesn't work to alleviate the pain associated with arthritis or joint pain but because the side effects are devastating. It simply isn't worth it. If I can stop one person from taking this and ruining their gastrointestinal tract, believe me this is painful and could very well be chronic and life threatening, I will have done my job. DON"T TAKE THIS! F 59 1 days

 1  Arthritis Thank God I did not take this drug. I'm only reviewing to warn people that if you have a life threatening sulfa allergy like I do, do not take this medicine. My doctor prescribed this to me well aware of my sulfa allergy. My allergy is so severe and I'm so sensitive to sulfa that I cannot ingest anything with sulfates in it either. While the sulfate reaction isn't life threatening, it has sent me to the ER before with severe heart palpitations and feeling as though I was having a heart attack. I went to fill the prescription & my pharmacy alerted me Celebrex contains sulfa. I called my doctor's office and ask why they would prescribe me a medication with sulfa & they shrugged it off stating it's just a trace amount. A trace amount is all it would take to close my throat. Needless to say I got a new doctor within the week. F 49 1 days

 3  Knee pain Started having SOB after eating after taking for maybe 3 months. Stopped taking Celebrex and went away after 30 days. Severe knee pain made me start taking again. Tried taking antacid before meals which has helped a little. Afraid to go off Celebrex for now. Now I'm scared of some of the other symptoms listed here. F 58 6 months

 1  Auto injury cervical disks ruptured Severe GI upset. Blood panel showed significant changes outside of normal ranges in kidney function BUN/Creatinine ratio, blood gulcose, I have stopped taking this medication completely. My pain management doctor never checked my liver and kidney function and put me on the highest recommended dose. I am a small person, 5'3" 123 lbs. I have been a very healthy person all of my life until this accident, I have never had abnormal blood panels. My family doctor is the one who caught the problem, not the pain management doctor. I am very upset about the negligence and shear laziness to gather baseline data for patients and to monitor them. F 53 1 years
