A member asked:
Is it ok to use pennsaid 2% topical for joint pain flare ups when also taking 200 mg a day of celebrex?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes. Because the topical cream has very little absorption into your blood stream, taking the two in combination is totally fine.

Yes, even though in same class as NSAIDs, the topical is not expected to add significant systemic side effects due to limited absorption.
