A member asked:
I was dx with fibromyalgia & i am not getting pain relief from my currant medications. would celebrex (celecoxib) be an option?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Off-label Rx: Celebrex (celecoxib) is commonly used to lessen the pain of people afflicted with the pain of fibromyalgia. However, Celebrex (celecoxib) has not been approved by the FDA to treat fibromyalgia, so this use would be an off-label prescription. Always before beginning any new drug, it is important to review your medical history with your doctor.
