What special precautions should I follow?
Celecoxib may cause a serious type of allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Although this is rare, it may occur often in patients who are allergic to aspirin, other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug
s, or sulfonamide-type drugs. Anaphylaxis requires immediate medical attention. The most serious signs of this reaction are very fast or irregular breathing, gasping for breath, wheezing, or fainting.
Other signs may include changes in color of the skin of the face; very fast but irregular heartbeat or pulse; hive-like swellings on the skin; and puffiness or swellings of the eyelids or around the
eyes. If these effects occur, get emergency help at once. Ask someone to drive you to the nearest hospital emergency room.

What is this Drug
Celebrex has also been found to reduce the number of colorectal polyps (growths in the wall of the lower intestine and rectum) in people who suffer from the condition called familial adenomatous polyp
osis (FAP), an inherited tendency to develop large numbers of colorectal polyps that eventually become cancerous. Celecoxib is used to relieve the pain, tenderness, inflammation (swelling), and stiff
ness caused by arthritis.
