Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Hi Sierra, The COX-2 meds all work against the same thing in the body, but are definitely not the same (as I found from experience). If you have a sensitivity to sulfa drugs, Celebrex can (probably will) cause an allergic reaction, which the others do not. Even though they are easier on the stomach then traditional NSAIDs, they can still cause stomach problems. I've found I can take 25 mg of Vioxx ok, but when I boost it to 50mgs, I start having problems with nausea. Each of us responds differently to meds, which is why the drug companies have come up with so many choices within the same theraputic class of drugs. Hope you find one that works for you.
