More About Celebrex

How
does Celebrex work?
In the body are two enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 helps regulate
normal cell function in the blood and stomach. COX-2 contributes
to arthritis pain and inflammation by causing the release of specific
compounds into the blood called cytokines. Cytokines are compounds
that lead to pain and inflammation of joint tissue. Celebrex is
the first product to target only the COX-2 enzyme, and has been
celebrated as a scientific breakthrough. By inhibiting COX-2, cytokines
are inhibited from being released into the blood.

Is
Celebrex effective for arthritis treatment?
Osteoarthritis treatment:
Celebrex effectiveness was evaluated for treatment of the signs
and symptoms of Osteoarthritis of the hip and knee. A placebo was
compared with patients treated with Celebrex in controlled clinical
trials involving about 4,200 patients with Osteoarthritis. The duration
of clinical trials lasted up to twelve weeks. In patients with Osteoarthritis,
treatment with Celebrex 100mg twice daily or 200mg once daily resulted
in an improvement in Osteoarthritis severity particularly for joint
pain, stiffness, and range of motion. In three 12-week studies of
joint pain along with Osteoarthritis flare, Celebrex doses of 100mg
given twice daily and 200mg given once daily provided significant
reduction of arthritis pain within 24 to 48 hours of dosing. A daily
dosage of 200mg has been shown equally effective whether given as
100mg twice or 200mg once.
Rheumatoid Arthritis treatment:
Patients treated with Celebrex showed substantial decreases in joint
tenderness /pain and joint swelling compared to placebo. Celebrex
was evaluated for treatment of signs and symptoms of Rheumatoid
Arthritis in approximately 2,100 patients by comparing Celebrex
and placebo treated patients in clinical trials up to 24 weeks.
Celebrex demonstrated to be superior to placebo in these studies,
using a Rheumatoid Arthritis severity index, a composite score of
joint pain, stiffness, and range of motion measures as well as lab
measures. In this study, it was shown that a Celebrex dosage of
100mg twice daily and 200mg twice daily were similar in effectiveness.
However, the higher dosage of 200mg twice daily is recommended for
more severe disease.
(top)
Celebrex dosage and usage
Continue taking Celebrex as prescribed even after feeling better.
Celebrex can be taken with or without food.
For Osteoarthritis treatment, recommended Celebrex dosage is 200mg
daily. Alternatively, a 100mg dose twice daily is available.
In Rheumatoid Arthritis treatment, recommended Celebrex dosage is
100mg-200mg, twice daily. Celebrex provides arthritis pain relief
for 24 hours.

Can I take Celebrex if taking other
medications?
If you take low-dose aspirin for the deterrence of heart attack
or stroke, you can still take Celebrex. However, your risk of developing
stomach ulcers increases while taking Celebrex and aspirin together
compared to taking Celebrex alone. Celebrex is not a substitute
for aspirin for prevention of stroke and heart attack.
(top)
Can I take Celebrex if pregnant?
Celebrex should be avoided in late pregnancy since it may cause
problems in the final development of the fetus’ heart.
(top)
Is
Celebrex a substitute for corticosteroids?
No, Celebrex is not a substitute for corticosteroids and should
not be used to treat corticosteroid insufficiency. Abrupt discontinuation
of corticosteroids may possibly lead to exacerbation of corticosteroid-responsive
illness. Patients on prolonged corticosteroid therapy should have
corticosteroid therapy tapered slowly if deciding to stop this medication.
