Your doctor will help you understand benefits and risks associated with all your treatment options, based on your medical history. Once you’ve worked together and found the best treatment plan for you, stick to it. And let your doctor know how well your treatment is working for you.

Important Safety Information:

Like all prescription NSAIDs, CELEBREX may increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke that can lead to death. It should not be used right before or after certain heart surgeries.

Serious skin reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, can occur without warning and may cause death.

Patients taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers.

Tell your doctor if you:
* Are pregnant
* Have a history of ulcers or bleeding in the stomach or intestines
* Have high blood pressure or heart failure
* Have kidney or liver problems

People with aspirin-sensitive asthma or allergic reactions due to aspirin or other arthritis medicines or certain drugs called sulfonamides should not take CELEBREX.

Prescription CELEBREX should be used exactly as prescribed at the lowest dose possible and for the shortest time needed.

For more information about CELEBREX and other NSAIDs, please see the Medication Guide.
For further information on CELEBREX, please see the full Prescribing Information.
