Celebrex is a COX-2 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug developed by Pfizer, Inc. It is used to treat symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual cramping. The use of COX-2 drugs is associated in some patients with serious problems from stomach ulcers, including bleeding, and with liver damage. Controversy over this class of drugs has recently increased, following the recall of Merck's Vioxx in September, 2004, after it was determined to double the risk of heart attack and stroke . Vioxx, Celebrex and Bextra are all COX-2 inhibitors used in the treatment of arthritis.
Serious side effects associated with Celebrex include fainting, kidney and heart failure, aggravation of hypertension, chest pain, ringing in the ears, deafness, stomach and intestinal ulcers, bleeding, blurred vision, anxiety, photosensitivity, weight gain, water retention, flu-like symptoms, drowsiness, and weakness. If you have taken Celebrex and suffered side effects, you may have a case. James F. Humphreys & Associates will not allow you or a loved one to suffer due to the negligence of a pharmaceutical company or drug manufacturer.
