Celebrex

Celebrex or Celecoxib is an anti - inflammatory drug used to treat arthritis, menstrual cramps, pain, and colonic polyps. Celebrex medication blocks the enzyme that makes prostaglandins (chemicals that contribute to inflammation of arthritis causing pain, fever, swelling, and tenderness). Lower concentrations of prostaglandins improve health and stop fever.

Celebrex medication used for people suffering from genetic problems, the medication reduces sizes of polyps in their body and overcomes problems of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). A person suffering from FAP becomes weak. Women get pain during menstrual periods due to secretion of prostaglandins. Celebrex stops the production and reduces the pain of menstrual cramps (primary dysmenorrhea).

To prevent menstrual problems women should consume less dose of Celebrex medication. To manage osteoarthritis a 100mg double dose or 200mg single dose celebrex is sufficient. For rheumatoid arthritis, usually a dose of 100-200mg daily would be sufficient. To get rid of FAP a dose of 400 mg is sufficient. For solving problems related to menstrual cramps, and acute pain a single dose of 400 mg, followed by a dose of 200 mg is sufficient.

Women should consume this drug independently. When taken with drugs like Aspirin, naproxen and ibuprofen, problems like stomachache and intestinal ulcers occur. Fluconzal of Diflucan increases concentration of Celecoxib in the body and prevents its elimination from the liver.

Celecoxib treatment should be proper, especially for people taking the blood thinner (anticoagulant) warfarin. If people do not go for a blood test, some serious problems arise and lead to many health problems. The drug also increases lithium content of the body and blood becomes contaminated. Seventeen percent (17%) of lithium if present in blood leads to lithium toxicity. Toxicity problems would be serious so people should monitor their lithium levels properly while medicating this drug. Celebrex medication is good for women with severe menstrual problems.
