Celebrex and Celecoxib at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Celebrex, a brand-name medication, is available through different companies depending on the region. In Canada, Celebrex is sold by Upjohn (which is part of the company Viatris). In New Zealand, Aspen is the company that makes and sells Celebrex. In Australia and the United Kingdom, Viatris is the main company that distributes Celebrex.

Generic celecoxib is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary.

Important Information about Generic Celecoxib:

Generic celecoxib contains the same active ingredient as the brand-name Celebrex and is required to meet the same safety, effectiveness, and quality standards as the brand-name product. This means it is designed to work in the same way as Celebrex. Studies have demonstrated bioequivalence between generic and brand-name celecoxib, meaning they have comparable absorption rates and overall effects. However, individual responses to any medication can vary. If you have any questions about using generic celecoxib, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, you can visit the FDA website: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/buying-using-medicine-safely/generic-drugs

Dosage:

Celebrex and celecoxib are available as 100 mg and 200 mg oral capsules.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on the individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Celebrex (celecoxib) is a prescription medication that relieves pain and inflammation associated with various conditions. The drug helps alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in adults, as well as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in children aged at least 2 years old. Celebrex is also taken to relieve acute pain and primary dysmenorrhea in adults. Your doctor may also prescribe Celebrex to help relieve acute pain in adults, such as that following trauma or surgery (including bone or muscle surgery, dental extraction, or injuries to the bone, muscle, or soft tissue, such as sprains).

Mechanism of Action:
Celebrex (celecoxib) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the enzyme COX-2 in the body. This enzyme helps produce chemicals called prostaglandins, which cause pain and swelling. It may also be associated with a lower risk of certain serious gastrointestinal side effects, such as stomach ulcers and bleeding, compared to non-selective NSAIDs that block both COX-1 and COX-2.

Take Celebrex exactly as your doctor prescribes. Do not change your dosage or stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor. Follow the instructions in the product monograph in Canada: https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00044180.PDF. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Celebrex, it is essential to discuss all potential side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below is a partial list of side effects; individual reactions can vary. Before starting Celebrex, it is crucial to discuss potential side effects and risks with your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects – These are examples of some common side effects of Celebrex, but others are possible. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects are persistent, worsening, or concerning or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Abdominal pain
• Diarrhea
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Indigestion
• Nausea

Serious or rare side effects – Stop taking Celebrex and seek immediate medical attention right away if you experience any of the following:

• Increase in blood pressure
• Kidney problems, including acute renal failure
• Liver problems, including persistent nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes

Contraindications:

This is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. It is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are using with your doctor or pharmacist before starting Celebrex.

Celebrex should not be taken if:
• You are allergic to celecoxib or any of the inactive ingredients in Celebrex
• You are bleeding from the stomach or gut
• You are in the setting of CABG surgery
• You have a bleeding disorder
• You have an active ulcer
• You have had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergic reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs
• You have severe heart failure

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Celebrex. This is crucial because certain conditions can affect whether Celebrex is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• An inflammatory bowel disease
• Atherosclerosis
• Congestive heart failure
• Diabetes
• Family history of allergy to sulfonamide drugs
• Family history of asthma, nasal polyps, long-term swelling of the sinus, or hives
• Heart attack or angina
• High potassium in your blood
• Kidney disease or urine problems
• Stroke or mini-stroke

Alcohol:
Avoid drinking alcohol when taking Celebrex. Alcohol may increase your risk of stomach bleeding.

Check-ups:
Your doctor may order regular medical tests while you are taking Celebrex, particularly for long-term use or if you have certain medical conditions. These may include blood pressure, kidney function (blood and urine tests), and liver function tests.

Dizziness and Impaired Driving Risk
Celebrex can cause blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness, or tiredness. These effects may impair your concentration and reaction time. Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or engage in tasks requiring full alertness until you can do so safely and know how Celebrex affects you. If you have concerns, speak with your doctor or pharmacist.

Fertility issues:
Celebrex may affect fertility in women. The drug may make it difficult for you to have a child. You might need to stop taking Celebrex if you have trouble having a child.

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Celebrex, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete information about potential drug interactions, please consult the patient medication information at https://www.pfizer.ca/files/CELEBREX_PI_EN_255827_2022-03-10.pdf and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Celebrex can interact with other medicines but is not limited to;
• ACE inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs): Celebrex can diminish the antihypertensive effect of these medications and increase the risk of kidney problems
• Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): There is an increased risk of bleeding when Celebrex is used with anticoagulants
• Aspirin: This can increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulceration when used with Celebrex
• Diuretics (e.g., furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide): Celebrex may reduce the effects of diuretics
• Fluconazole: This medication can significantly increase celecoxib levels
• Lithium: Using Celebrex with lithium may increase lithium plasma concentrations in the blood, leading to toxicity
• Methotrexate: Celebrex may increase methotrexate levels

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Always tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Pregnancy:
• Avoid Celebrex from 20 weeks of pregnancy onwards due to potential severe kidney and lung problems for the baby.
• Celebrex is strictly contraindicated (do not use) in the third trimester (after 28 weeks of pregnancy), as it can cause severe harm to the baby's heart and kidneys.
• In earlier stages of pregnancy (before 20 weeks), Celebrex should only be used if clearly necessary and specifically prescribed by your doctor after weighing the risks and benefits. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time.

Breastfeeding:
Celecoxib passes into breast milk. Your doctor will discuss the potential risks to the baby and help you decide whether to continue the medication or breastfeeding.
