Celebrex
Alert : Drugmaker Pfizer has announced that, based on recent
studies, the nation's leading arthritis drug Celebrex raises the
risk of heart attack when taken in high dosages.
The National Cancer Institute suspended the use of Celebrex
after discovering that patients on the higher doses, 400 to 800
mg/day, had a 2.5 times higher risk of heart attack and
associated cardiovascular problems.
Pfizer has said that it will not recall Celebrex, however it has
stopped its' aggressive advertising campaign for the arthritis
drug. The FDA is reviewing the findings from the recent drug
study.
Celebrex
is belongs to a class of pharmaceutical drugs called Cox 2
inhibitors. COX-2 is an enzyme
produced by the body that is thought to cause painful swelling
in the body, as found in the joints of an arthritis sufferer.
Celebrex blocks, or inhibits, this specific enzyme. Health
risks, including heart attacks and strokes, have been linked to
similar drugs Vioxx
and Bextra.
