Celebrex® Information

Relief from aches and pains might not be worth the risk for users of Celebrex®. In a mid-December announcement, Pfizer—the manufacturer of the COX-2 inhibitor anti-inflammatory drug—said that certain users of Celebrex® might be at a substantially increased risk for heart attacks.

A study for Pfizer conducted by the U.S. National Cancer Institute was suspended when it was found that patients taking between 400-milligram and 800-milligram doses of Celebrex® were found to be at 2.5 times the risk of cardiovascular events than those taking a placebo.

Celebrex® is part of a family of new, popular anti-inflammatory painkillers called COX-2 inhibitors. The drug is prescribed in doses of between 100 milligrams and 400 milligrams for those with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Touted superior to traditional painkillers because they work without the side effect of an upset stomach, COX-2 inhibitors—including recently recalled Vioxx®—have been found to cause more severe side effects. Ranging from blood clots and stomach ulcers, to heart attacks and possible
death, these side effects far outstrip the benefits of the drugs.

Patients taking Celebrex® should contact their physician for further direction. If you would like more information on your legal rights and the recent developments of the risks and dangers of Celebrex®, contact a Celebrex® lawyer, law firms listed here for more information..
