Celebrex Warnings
Do not consume alcohol at the same time as taking Celebrex, as the combination can produce stomach problems.
If you are using Celebrex for an extended period of time your physician should monitor your progress on a regular basis.
Reactions with other medications:
- Taking two or more nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) together on a regular basis may increase the likelihood of side effects.
- If you are taking acetaminophen, aspirin or another ketorolac or salicylates on a regular basis while taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug there may be an extra chance of side effects.
These increased risks are dependant on the dosage of each drug taken each day and for the length of time you take the drugs at the same time.
If your health care professional directs you to take these medications together on a regular basis, ensure you follow his or her directions carefully. However, do not take acetaminophen or aspirin or other salicylates together with this medicine for more than a few days, and do not take any ketorolac (e.g., Toradol) while you are taking this medicine, unless your physician has directed you to do so and is monitoring your progress.
