This liquid formulation provides a convenient and easily ingested dosage form, ensuring accurate delivery of medication. It is particularly beneficial for patients who find swallowing solid dosage forms challenging, such as children and the elderly.

Celecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. It is commonly used to treat pain or inflammation caused by various conditions such as arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and menstrual pain. It is also used in the treatment of hereditary polyps in the colon.

The liquid formulation of Celecoxib 200 mg/5 mL allows for precise dosing and is often preferred for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills. The medication is typically taken once or twice daily, depending on the specific condition being treated and the patient's response to therapy. It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure its effectiveness and to minimize the risk of side effects.

Common side effects of Celecoxib include stomach upset, diarrhea, and dizziness. If any of these effects persist or worsen, patients should inform their healthcare provider promptly. It is important to note that Celecoxib may increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, especially if used long term or in high doses. Patients should discuss the benefits and risks of Celecoxib with their healthcare provider.

Prescribers should be aware that Celecoxib may interact with other medications, including anticoagulants, ACE inhibitors, and other NSAIDs. Therefore, a thorough medication history should be obtained before initiating therapy with Celecoxib. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and liver function may be required while on this medication.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Celecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. It is used to treat pain or inflammation caused by many conditions such as arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and menstrual pain. It is also used in the treatment of hereditary polyps in the colon.

While Celecoxib is generally safe for use, it may interact with other medications, potentially altering their effects or increasing the risk of side effects. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Celecoxib may increase the blood levels and effects of lithium, a medication used to treat psychiatric disorders. If you are taking lithium, your healthcare provider may need to monitor your blood levels more closely and adjust your dose as necessary.

Combining Celecoxib with other NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin, may increase the risk of stomach or intestinal bleeding. If you are taking any of these medications, discuss with your healthcare provider whether Celecoxib is the best treatment option for you.

Celecoxib may also interact with certain blood pressure medications, including angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and diuretics. These interactions can lead to decreased effectiveness of the blood pressure medications or increased risk of kidney problems.

Anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs, such as warfarin and clopidogrel, may have their effects increased when taken with Celecoxib, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. If you are taking any of these medications, your healthcare provider may need to monitor you more closely.

Fluconazole and similar antifungal medications can increase the blood levels of Celecoxib, potentially increasing the risk of side effects. If you are taking an antifungal, your healthcare provider may need to adjust your Celecoxib dose.

It's important to note that this is not a complete list of potential drug interactions. Always consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist for the most complete and up-to-date information.

If you have any questions about Celecoxib or its potential interactions with other medications, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is here to help.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Celecoxib 200 mg/5 mL Oral Liquid is a specially formulated medication that works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). This enzyme is responsible for the production of prostaglandins, which are substances in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking the action of COX-2, Celecoxib reduces these symptoms.

This medication is particularly effective in treating conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual pain, where inflammation is a significant factor. It can also be used in the management of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) to decrease the number of polyps (growths) in the rectal area.

The liquid formulation of Celecoxib provides a convenient and easily ingested dosage form. This is particularly beneficial for patients who have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms, such as tablets or capsules. The liquid form allows for accurate dosing and is often preferred for pediatric and geriatric populations.

It's important to note that while Celecoxib can help manage symptoms, it does not cure the underlying disease or prevent the progression of joint damage. It should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

As with any medication, Celecoxib may have side effects, including stomach pain, diarrhea, and gas. It may also increase the risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, including myocardial infarction and stroke, which can be fatal. Patients should discuss these risks with their healthcare provider before starting treatment.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

The Celecoxib 200 mg/5 mL Oral Liquid formulation can be used other than its primary application for treating pain or inflammation caused by conditions such as arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and menstrual pain. It provides additional therapeutic benefits due to its core component, Celecoxib, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). For instance, it is often utilized for the management of acute pain in adults and for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea. Celecoxib has also been recommended by some healthcare providers for children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis who are older than 2 years. Furthermore, it has been used for symptomatic treatment of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP). However, it's essential to acknowledge that this use is considered "off-label", which means it is not formally approved by regulatory bodies.

Despite its multiple uses, Celecoxib should always be taken as directed by a healthcare provider, keeping in mind that the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals should be employed. This formulation is particularly advantageous in cases where patients can’t comfortably swallow tablets or capsules, such as children or elder adults. The liquid form allows for easy ingestion and precise dosing.

Prescribers should bear in mind that while Celecoxib has proven benefits, it also carries risks that need to be weighed against the benefits. For instance, as with other NSAIDs, it can cause gastrointestinal problems and should be used with caution in patients with a history of peptic ulcers or other digestive issues. Celecoxib is contraindicated for peri-operative pain management in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Thus, prescribers should thoroughly assess the patient's health history and current medications before prescribing this drug.
