Celebrex 200

I have celebrex 200mg from 2014, could I still use these? ## Hello, Merry! How are you? This medication doesn't become toxic after the expiration date, but it does lose effectiveness and probably won't work as well as it did, when new. Thus, it would be best to see your doctor for a new prescription. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is 'Ciplar 421' the generic for Celebrex? I recently started taking this brand and am not familiar with it. I had just noticed this on the capsule. I take it for arthritis. ## Yes, Cipla USA lists this capsule as containing 200mgs of Celecoxib, which is a generic for Celebrex. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

What is the shelf life of Celebrex capsule 200mg. The date on mine is 5/2/09. They have been kept in the original pharmacy container in a cool dark cabinet. Are they still effective? ## When regular prescription tablets and capsules are dispensed, they are required to have a one year shelf life, from the time you get your prescription filled. That means that yours actually expired on 05/02/10. This doesn't mean that they are dangerous to use, but after that date, they can start to lose potency and not be as effective. Have you spoken to your doctor? It may be advisable to just get a new prescription, if you still need to use this medication. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, stomach irritation and headache. ## Taking pills that are expired is not dangerous. They m...

My pills are 28 months old, I wonder if there are still good ## It is highly likely that they have lost effectiveness and aren't worth taking, by now. The expiration date is usually one year from when they are dispensed to you by your pharmacy and the original container was opened, so they have been exposed to the elements that cause degradation, such as heat, light and moisture. At 28 months old, that means they are over another year past the original expiration date. Learn more Celebrex details here. Are there any other comments or questions? ## The experation date on all perscription medication is a year after the date it's written. But most medications are still good well after that date especially if they were stored in a freezer or refrigerator. This is from a study the mi...

My celebrex has been in a cool dark place dated 5/19/2004. Are they still good? ## Hello, Bill! How are you? Medications do lose effectiveness with time, even in the original factory sealed containers, most are only good for 4 to 5 years, thus it would be best to dispose of it and see your doctor, if you need a new prescription. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## hi. my celebrex expired aug 2015. is there a grace period? thanks

I was just prescribed Celebrex for fibromyalgia pain & need to know if I can still take melatonin for sleep ## Melatonin is an over the counter supplement and, as such, it is generally considered safe, but it has not been tested for possible interactions with medications. Learn more Celebrex details here. Learn more Melatonin details here. Is that the only medication you take? How much is the Melatonin dosage? ## I take 5mg at night & no other prescriptions just B12 & D cause I also have Multiple Sclerosis aren't I lucky ## 3mg melatonin 200mg celecoxib

How close to the effects of Celebrex is Celecoxib (Mylan 7150)? So far I have not found any generics that come close to mimicking the original drug, Celebrex. ## I think that the effects of Celecoxib are nothing like Celebrex. Celecoxib is like taking a strong aspirin. Celebrex has a much nicer effect! ## It contains the same active ingredient, which is 200mgs of Celcoxib, it is used to treat pain, and swelling. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I just need to wonder if celebrex is ok to take if I have Mitral Valve Prolapse, heart murmur, allergic to sulfa medications will be ok for me to take without further hurting my existing problems. I also have a Hiatel Hernia and Reflux syndrome. Do you reccomend me to take this? My Dr. says it is up to him and to take it, even if it is not helping my pain. I am on 100mg's a day. Thank you. ## No, reading your list of health problems I almost thought I must have originally posted it. If your doctor prescribe it for you then he/she already knows all your health issues. You don't state how long you've been on this med but if longer than 3 days and it's not helping then I would demand a change or go to another doctor. ## I am taking celebrex 200mg for 2 days but I feel chest...

I take hydrocodone 7.5 325 for pain from degenerated disks in spine and I take celebrex 200 for arthritis pain and inflamation, is there any problem with this? One medication alone does not take care of my problem. ## It is common for drs to prescribe an opiate and something for inflammation. ## @Marcia, Most research I'm finding doesn't indicate that there are any interactions between Hydrocodone and Celebrex. However, one report I came across does imply that using the two together may increase the plasma concentration and effects of Hydrocodone; and that your doctor should monitor your blood levels in case a dosage adjustment is deemed necessary. Having said that, my intuition tells me that it's not a "serious" drug interaction. Though it seems like it would still ...

Can I safely use Phentermine while I take hydrocodine 10-325, Celebrex 200, Avapro 150. All 1x pd? I'm very overweight. This helped me lose weight in the past and eliminates BP meds + more. My BP is good while on Avapro. I took Phentermine 1/2 tab with Avapro before with no problems. Lost 75 lbs. BP became normal. URGENT! ## Hello, Coopie! How are you? Actually, if you have a high blood pressure, Phentermine is generally contraindicated, as reported by the FDA, due to the fact that it is a stimulant, which can cause elevated heart rate and blood pressure. Have you considered trying a different weight loss option? There are other, newer medications available that you may be able to safely take. ## Hi I'm on avapro medicine for blood pressure and I'm wondering if I can still t...

My husband has been using celebrex for about 2 weeks. He is now complaining that his knees hurt worse than before the celebrex. I stopped the celebrex today - does celebrex just stay in your body for 24 hours or is this the kind of drug that builds in your body and you will have to be off the drug a few days to start to feel better? ## Hello, Annie! How is your husband doing? Yes, it may take a few days for him to start to feel better. Its typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, stomach irritation and increased risk of bleeding. Has he consulted his doctor? There are other medications he can try.

Celebrex made me sweat excessively on my scalp, so I had to stop using it. I used it for a few years 200mg per day, for arthritis and broken ankle and a very bad back. Will coxflam have the same side effect ## Hello, Bets! How are you? Coxflam contains the active ingredient Meloxicam, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. That said, the only way to discover if it will cause the same issue is by trying it. That's not a typical side effect that it's been known to cause, though. Is there anything else I can help with?
