Important Safety Information:

Like all prescription NSAIDs, CELEBREX may

increase the chance of heart attack or stroke that

can lead to death. This chance increases if you

have heart disease or risk factors for it, such as

high blood pressure or when NSAIDs are taken

for long periods.

CELEBREX should not be used right before or

after certain heart surgeries.

Serious skin reactions, or stomach and intestine

problems such as bleeding and ulcers, can occur

without warning and may cause death. Patients

taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased

risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers.
