Celebrex is an effective drug in the treatment of any signs of inflammations as seen in arthritis, spondylitis or even cramping in menstrual pains. It is categorized under a group of drugs known as NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). These are relatively safe drugs to treat even cases of polyps in the colon which are generally a hereditary condition.
It is essential to note that this medication must be taken as prescribed by the doctor. The doctor may request for a complete medical history in which case any previous incidents of heart disease, strokes or circulatory problems must be mentioned as Celebrex is known to enhance the risk of getting these conditions.
This may also cause, in some cases, some bleeding in stomach or perforations in the stomach lining. Those with a predilection to alcohol consumption must refrain from drinking as it can harm the stomach lining and exacerbate the effects of Celebrex. Discuss with your medical health care provider the do's and don'ts while consuming this medicine and follow the course of treatment strictly.
To take the pill, it is quite alright to take it along with a glass of water or milk to lessen the occurrence of any stomach upsets. The pill must not be chewed. But in case there is some difficulty in swallowing the pill, the capsule can be opened and the contents mixed with a spoon of applesauce and taken. Confirm with the doctor if this mode of ingesting the medication is alright.
To keep track of the progress of treatment and to monitor the condition, the doctor may ask for periodic medical tests. Do not miss the appointments for these tests. The dosage may be altered or readjusted depending on the necessity. For more details about the mode of action of the drug, peruse the information leaflet given with the drug.
