A member asked:
Which nsaid/painkiller best/safest for costochronditis while on citalopram? worried about bleeding risk.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe NSAID: NSAIDs are inherently unsafe medications if taken for longer time at a high dose. Celecoxib (Celebrex) is a selective anti-inflammatory medicine and would be the safest of them all.
