can meloxicam be taken with celecoxib ? ## Hi John, According to umm.edu's drug interaction checker, there are no interactions listed between Celecoxib and Meloxicam. This is not to say that no interactions exist period, but based on these findings I don't see any reason why you couldn't take them together unless instructed otherwise by your prescribing doctor. Also, as long as it was the same doctor who prescribed both meds, I highly doubt he/she would give you anything that couldn't be taken at the same time or at least within the same day, for safety reasons. They have to watch their own back just as much for risk of litigation if they ever did prescribe two contradicting drugs. I hope this helps!

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?

My doctor perscribe Celecoxib. An anti inflamatory. A 30 day perscription. With 3 refills. I have a torn meniscus in my knee and sciatic nerve pain lower back. Lot of pain. I feel its gotten better I took for a week. But it makes me very very nauseous If swelling is down. Is it necessary to keep taking anyway? ## Hello, Catherine! How are you? No, it isn't necessary, it is entirely up to you, though you should inform your doctor, if you're going to stop taking it. They may be able to prescribe something that won't make you so nauseous. Other side effects of this medication may possibly include dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I had headaches and dizziness and stomach irritations. ?? I will stop...

Hi I've been taking Celecoxib 100mg for 4 months now, it works great for my chronic pain but recently I've noticed it is making my stomach upset? Like diarrhea wise. Is it because I'm not taking it with enough food? Maybe my body has built up a resistance? But I still feel no pain in my shoulder so I'm not sure. I take it twice daily with food. Any comments are appreciated. I'm a 16 year old female with CRMO (chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis). ## Hello, Loosy! How are you? Stomach irritation is a very typical side effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications and sometimes, it still happens, even if you take it with food. The FDA lists its other side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness and headache. Have you consulted your doctor? You may...

try when you take celebra to eat only fruits and it will work well for 2 weeks ## From what I could gather, Celebra (Celecoxib) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily for acute pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and other minor injuries. I can only imagine that eating a diet of only fruit would be of great benefit to your body's ability to heal quicker. With the added health benefits and anti-inflammatory response of various fruits, I think this is a great adjunct therapy to any sort of condition or ailment that one may be facing. I've been on a fruit-only diet numerous times and still do it quite often, because of how great it makes me feel on the inside-out. More people should become aware that fruit and veggies are also another means of ...

need to know if this is equal to celebrex - Lanzoprazol Tromaxil XL ## side affects of trepeline ## Celebrex contains the active ingredient Celecoxib, this is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication used to treat pain and inflammation.

I have been sweating a lot, even in cold weather. Is this a possible side effect of Celebrex? ## Hi Debrose - do you have a fever or any cold / flu like symptoms? I was reading through the Celecoxib side effects on Medline Plus and didn't see anything specifically listing sweating or hot flashes. However, what you reported could go in line with other side effects listed. I would read through the list on that page, and definitely let your doctor know since they should factor in any other things from your medical history. For example, it says "Your blood pressure should be checked regularly during your treatment." Could the sweating relate to a change in your blood pressure? Just things to consider and get checked asap. I hope this helps and best wishes with your treatment. Pl...
