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  arthritis, inflamation I was constantly having heart palpations, fluttery feelings in my chest.I had serious shortness of breath, and was dreadfully tired all the time. I had a lot of stomach and digestive problems while on celebrex. Arthritis of the cervical and lumbar spine continued to get worse. The stiffness and pain on the right side of my body from my neck to the bottom of my foot has had no let up. Exercise is helpful when I can do it. Everyday chores are nearly impossible. Celebrex seemed to have little or no value as a treatment for me. I am no longer taking celebrex. My Doctor has me on naproxin now, but I really can't tell much difference at this point. F 55 2 days
