I used to market Celebrex, and I WOULD NOT take it.

It can decrease kidney function and slow clearance of water--and make you hold on to weight. Some patients on Celebrex suffer swollen hands and feet, and other problems related to fluid retention. The most Serious is the potential for high blood pressure!!

Finally for women, Celebrex has been shown to slow bone growth--of concern to women especially who may be losing bone as they age. Vioxx is the same.

Worst of all is neither of these two "super aspirins" have proven better than generic naprosyn or even aspirin in the long term studies. Not worth going off your prescription plan and paying out of pocket!!
