              Warnings

              Black Box Warnings

              Cardiovascular risk

              • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may increase risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke, which can be fatal
              • Risk may increase with duration of use
              • Patients with existing cardiovascular disease or risk factors for such disease may be at greater risk
              • NSAIDs are contraindicated for perioperative pain in setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery

              Gastrointestinal risk

              • NSAIDs increase risk of serious gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events, including bleeding, ulceration, and gastric or intestinal perforation, which can be fatal
              • GI adverse events may occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms
              • Elderly patients are at greater risk for serious GI events

              Contraindications

              Known hypersensitivity (eg, anaphylactic reactions, serious skin reactions) to celecoxib or its components

              History of asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs; severe, sometimes fata, anaphylactic reactions reported

              In the setting of coronary artery bypass graft

              Demonstrated allergic-type reactions to sulfonamides

              Cautions

              Congestive heart failure, hypertension

              Increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events and skin reactions

              Caution in asthma (bronchial), bleeding disorder, bronchospasm, duodenal/gastric/peptic ulcer, renal impairment

              Risk of GI bleeding, ulceration, and perforation; factors that increase risk of GI bleeding in patients treated with NSAIDs include longer duration of NSAID therapy; concomitant use of oral corticosteroids, antiplatelet drugs (such as aspirin), anticoagulants; or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs); smoking; use of alcohol; older age; and poor general health status

              Long-term administration of NSAIDs may result in renal papillary necrosis and other renal injury; patients at greatest risk include elderly individuals; those with impaired renal function, hypovolemia, heart failure, liver dysfunction, or salt depletion, and those taking diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, or angiotensin-receptor blockers

              Anemia may occur; monitor hemoglobin or hematorcrit in long term treatment patients

              Use caution in pediatrics with systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis; serious adverse reactions, including disseminated intravascular coagulation reported

              NSAIDs may cause serious skin reacitons including exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis, may occur without warning or without prior known sulfa allergy; discontinue at first sign of rash

              Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS)

              • Drug reaction reported in patients taking NSAIDs; some of these events have been fatal or life-threatening; DRESS typically, although not exclusively, presents with fever, rash, lymphadenopathy, and/or facial swelling
              • Other clinical manifestations may include hepatitis, nephritis, hematological abnormalities, myocarditis, or myositis; sometimes symptoms of DRESS may resemble an acute viral infection
              • Eosinophilia is often present; because this disorder is variable in its presentation, other organ systems not noted here may be involved
              • Early manifestations of hypersensitivity, such as fever or lymphadenopathy, may be present even though rash is not evident; if such signs or symptoms are present, discontinue therapy and evaluate the patient immediately

              Drug interaction overview

              • CYP2C9 inhibitors
                • Celecoxib is a CYP2C9 substrate
                • Coadministration with CYP2C9 inhibitors may increase celecoxib plasma levels owing to reduced metabolic clearance
                • Coadministration with CYP2C9 inducers may decrease celecoxib efficacy
              • CYP2D6 substrates
                • Celecoxib inhibits CYP2D6
                • If coadministered, may increase levels of CYP2D6 substrates
              • Drugs that interfere with hemostasis
                • Monitor if coadministered with anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), antiplatelet agents (eg, aspirin), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) for signs of bleeding
                • Coadministration with analgesic doses of aspirin is not recommended owing to increased risk of bleeding
                • If coadministration with low-dose aspirin for cardiac prophylaxis, monitor closely for evidence of GI bleeding
              • ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers
                • NSAIDs may diminish antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), or beta blockers
                • In patients who are elderly, volume-depleted (including those on diuretic therapy), or have renal impairment, coadministration of an NSAID with ACE inhibitors or ARBs may result in deterioration of renal function, including possible acute renal failure; these effects are usually reversible
                • If coadministered, patients should be well hydrated; monitor for signs of worsening renal function
              • Diuretics
                • NSAIDs may reduce the natriuretic effect of loop and thiazide diuretics
                • This effect is attributed to the NSAID inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis
              • Digoxin
                • Coadministration increases digoxin serum concentration and prolongs digoxin half-life
              • Lithium
                • NSAIDs elevate plasma lithium levels and reduce renal lithium clearance
                • Mean minimum lithium concentration increased 15%; renal clearance decreased by ~20%
                • Effect attributed to NSAID inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis
                • Monitor for lithium toxicity
              • Methotrexate
                • Coadministration of NSAIDs and methotrexate may increase risk for methotrexate toxicity (eg, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, renal dysfunction)
              • Cyclosporine
                • Coadministration may increase nephrotoxicity
                • If coadministered, monitor for worsening renal function
              • Pemetrexed
                • Coadministration may increase risk of pemetrexed-associated myelosuppression, renal, and GI toxicity
                • CrCl 45-79 mL/min: Monitor for myelosuppression, renal, and GI toxicity
                • CrCl <30 mL/min: Coadministration not recommended

              Pregnancy & Lactation

              Pregnancy

              There are no adequate and well-controlled studies on pregnant women; data from observational studies regarding potential embryofetal risks of NSAIDs during the 1st or 2nd trimesters are inconclusive

              Fetal toxicity

              • Use of NSAIDs can cause premature closure of fetal ductus arteriosus and fetal renal dysfunction leading to oligohydramnios and, in some cases, neonatal renal impairment; because of these risks, limit dose and duration of use between about 20 and 30 weeks of gestation, and avoid use at about 30 weeks of gestation and later in pregnancy
              • Use of NSAIDs at about 30 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy increases risk of premature closure of fetal ductus arteriosus
              • Use of NSAIDs at about 20 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy has been associated with cases of fetal renal dysfunction leading to oligohydramnios, and in some cases, neonatal renal impairment
              • If an NSAID is necessary at about 20 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy, limit use to lowest effective dose and shortest duration possible; if treatment extends beyond 48 hours, consider monitoring with ultrasound for oligohydramnios; if oligohydramnios occurs, discontinue drug and follow up according to clinical practice

              Animal studies

              • Administration during pregnancy resulted in adverse effects on development, including increases in embryonic death and fetal malformations, at doses or maternal plasma drug exposures greater than those used clinically
              • Prostaglandins have shown an important role in endometrial vascular permeability, blastocyst implantation, and decidualization; in animal studies, administration of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors resulted in increased pre- and postimplantation loss

              Labor or delivery

              • There are no studies on the effects of celecoxib during labor or delivery
              • In animal studies, NSAIDs inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, cause delayed parturition, and increase the incidence of stillbirth

              Infertility

              • Published animal studies have shown that administration of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors has the potential to disrupt prostaglandin mediated follicular rupture required for ovulation
              • Consider withdrawal of NSAIDs in women who have difficulties conceiving or who are undergoing investigation of infertility

              Lactation

              Limited data from 12 breastfeeding women showed low levels of celecoxib in breast milk

              Calculated average daily infant dose was 10-40 mcg/kg/day, <1% of the weight-based therapeutic dose for a 2-year old child

              There is no information available regarding effects of drug on milk production; the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed infant from drug or from underlying maternal condition

              Pregnancy Categories

              A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

              B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

              C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

              D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

              X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

              NA: Information not available.

              Pharmacogenomics

              CYP2C9 activity is reduced in individuals with genetic polymorphisms that lead to reduced enzyme activity (eg, individuals who are homozygous for the CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 polymorphisms)

              Limited data from 4 published reports that included a total of 8 subjects with the homozygous CYP2C9*3/*3 genotype showed celecoxib systemic levels that were 3- to 7-fold higher in these subjects compared with subjects with CYP2C9*1/*1 or *I/*3 genotypes

              Pharmacokinetics of celecoxib have not been evaluated in subjects with other CYP2C9 polymorphisms (eg, *2, *5, *6, *9 and *11)

              Estimated frequency of the homozygous *3/*3 genotype is 0.3-1% in various ethnic groups

              CELECOXIB SOLUTION - ORAL

              (SEL-e-KOX-ib)

              COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Elyxyb

              WARNING: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (including celecoxib) may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. This effect can happen at any time while taking this drug but is more likely if you take it for a long time. The risk may be greater in older adults or if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes). Do not take this drug right before or after heart bypass surgery (CABG).Also, this drug may rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking this drug. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect.Stop taking celecoxib and get medical help right away if you notice any of these rare but serious side effects: stomach/abdominal pain that doesn't go away, black/tarry stools, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, confusion, weakness on one side of the body, trouble speaking, sudden vision changes.Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about the benefits and risks of taking this drug.

              USES: This medication is used to treat migraines. It helps to relieve headache, pain, and other migraine symptoms (including nausea, sensitivity to light/sound). Prompt treatment helps you return to your normal routine and may decrease your need for other pain medications. Celecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), specifically a COX-2 inhibitor. It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This effect helps to decrease swelling, pain, or fever.

              HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide and Instructions for Use provided by your pharmacist before you start using celecoxib and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, at the first sign of a migraine. The dosage is based on your medical condition. Take this medication only when needed. Do not take more than one dose in a 24-hour period.This medication comes in a bottle. The amount of medication in the bottle is usually used for one dose. If instructed to take all the medication in the bottle, drink the medication directly from the bottle. If instructed to only use half the amount of medication per dose, carefully measure the dose using a special measuring device/spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. Discard any unused medication after taking your dose. Do not save the unused medication left in the bottle for later use.After taking the medication, you may drink up to a full glass of water (8 ounces or 240 milliliters) unless your doctor directs you otherwise.If you are using drugs for migraine attacks on 10 or more days each month, the drugs may actually make your headaches worse (medication overuse headache). Do not use medications more often or for longer than directed. Tell your doctor if you need to use this medication more often, or if the medication is not working as well, or if your headaches get worse.

              SIDE EFFECTS: See also Warning section.Changes in the sense of taste may occur. If this effect lasts or gets worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.This medication may raise your blood pressure. Check your blood pressure regularly and tell your doctor if the results are high.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: severe headache, pain/swelling/warmth in the groin/calf, signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine), difficult/painful swallowing, symptoms of heart failure (such as swelling ankles/feet, unusual tiredness, unusual/sudden weight gain).This drug may rarely cause serious (possibly fatal) liver disease. Get medical help right away if you have any symptoms of liver damage, such as: nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop, loss of appetite, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: fever, swollen lymph nodes, rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.

              PRECAUTIONS: See also Warning section.Before taking celecoxib, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to aspirin or other NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen, naproxen); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: asthma (including a history of worsening breathing with runny/stuffy nose after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs), blood disorders (such as anemia, bleeding/clotting problems), growths in the nose (nasal polyps), liver disease, stomach/intestine/esophagus problems (such as bleeding, ulcers, recurring heartburn), heart disease (such as previous heart attack), high blood pressure, stroke, swelling (edema, fluid retention).Kidney problems can sometimes occur with the use of NSAID medications, including celecoxib. Problems are more likely to occur if you are dehydrated, have heart failure or kidney disease, are an older adult, or if you take certain medications (see also Drug Interactions section). Drink plenty of fluids as directed by your doctor to prevent dehydration and tell your doctor right away if you have any unusual change in the amount of urine.This medicine may cause stomach bleeding. Daily use of alcohol and tobacco, especially when combined with this medicine, may increase your risk for stomach bleeding. Limit alcohol and stop smoking. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about how much alcohol you may safely drink.Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).Older adults may be at greater risk for stomach/intestinal bleeding, kidney problems, heart attack, and stroke while using this drug.Before using this medication, women of childbearing age should talk with their doctor(s) about the benefits and risks. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant. This medication may harm an unborn baby and cause problems with normal labor/delivery. It is not recommended for use in pregnancy from 20 weeks until delivery. If your doctor decides that you need to use this medication between 20 and 30 weeks of pregnancy, you should use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time. You should not use this medication after 30 weeks of pregnancy.This medication passes into breast milk. While there have been no reports of harm to nursing infants, consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

              DRUG INTERACTIONS: Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.Some products that may interact with this drug are: aliskiren, ACE inhibitors (such as captopril, lisinopril), angiotensin II receptor blockers (such as valsartan, losartan), cidofovir, lithium, "water pills" (diuretics such as furosemide).This medication may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with other drugs that also may cause bleeding. Examples include anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel, "blood thinners" such as dabigatran/enoxaparin/warfarin, among others.Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many medications contain pain relievers/fever reducers (aspirin, NSAIDs such as naproxen or ibuprofen). These drugs are similar to celecoxib and may increase your risk of side effects if taken together. However, if your doctor has directed you to take low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke (usually 81-162 milligrams a day), you should continue taking the aspirin unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
