Question 1

does celebrex (celecoxib) contain any blood thinning medications?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly: Celebrex (celecoxib) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid). The nsaids are felt to have some "blood thinning" properties, and they can increase the risk of bleeding particularly when taken in combination with true blood thinners such as warfarin.

Question 2

does celebrex (celecoxib) thin blood?

Accepted Answer

No: It does not inhibits platelet action as do all other nsaids except salsalate.

Question 3

help can celecoxib (celebrex) thin the blood?

Accepted Answer

No it does not: Thin the blood, which is why it is safe to take with specific blood thinners, such as ASA or warfarin!

Question 4

on celebrex (celecoxib) taken off creatine level n blood,after stop levels back 2 norm, he added motrin 800mgqid n stead of more narcotic,motrin easier on kidney?

Accepted Answer

No: Like Celebrex (celecoxib), Motrin (ibuprofen) is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). They both can equally affect the kidneys negatively, but this is usually in older patients with less renal reserve. If you are 22 and have had some kidney injury from this, I suspect you have been taking Celebrex a long time. So stop Motrin. Your safer bet would be acetaminophen or tramadol.

Question 5

is taking celebrex (celecoxib) 200mg every day harmful to the heart or blood pressure? i have severe osteoarthritis in the knees that the pills really help.

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Celebrex (celecoxib) can raise bp by causing sodium retention in the kidney and increase chance of heart attacks by increasing platelet reactivity. If one has risk factors for heart disease then taking celebrex (celecoxib) should be with great caution.  Advise a thorough cardiac evaluation.

Question 6

i have back pain & migrain today. i check my blood pressure is 151/101. i go to hospital.. the doctor give me celebrex (celecoxib) 200mg cap. have a side effect?

Accepted Answer

Pretty save.: Celebrex is save, with few side effects. Nevertheless, with your BP I would prefer you use Tylenol (acetaminophen) since Celebrex and any other COX inhibitor ( Motrin, Alleve ) may increase you BP more. It is possible that your headache is caused by hight blood pressure.

Question 7

my doctor prescribed celebrex (celecoxib) for knee pain.  i have micro-vascular disease.  i am high risk for stroke and blood clot.  is celebrex (celecoxib) a good choice?

Accepted Answer

No: No NSAID is a good choice for those individuals with significant cardiac or vascular risk. There are several other options besides NSAIDs. See a rheumatologist.

Question 8

i am fiftytwo. i'm taking benicar ranatadine colododyne potassium celebrex (celecoxib) adderahl. my blood pressure is still running 185/118 pulse 82. ?

Accepted Answer

Consult nephrologist: A nephrologist can screen for hormonal causes of hypertension, and sort out your medications. Kidney function should be checked, as Celebrex (celecoxib) can affect it. Adderall can affect blood pressure. You should get a BP monitor to check and track your blood pressure at home. This is more useful than isolated measurements at doctor's office.

Question 9

is celecoxib classed as a blood thinner?

Accepted Answer

Celecoxib: it is a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent, one of its other effects is platelet inhibition but it isn't classified as a 'blood thinner'

Question 10

i am on blood thinning medication can i also take glucosamine ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, there is no problem taking glucosamine. Make sure that you talk to your doctor about which foods to avoid if you are on a blood thinner.
