Guest guest Posted April 9, 1999 Report Share Posted April 9, 1999 Hi and All, When you first mentioned Celebrex, I looked it up in a site called askjeeves.com, and it said basically the same thing as the cox2facts.com , EXCEPT, that it didn't point out that this 2 has fewer gastrointestinal side effects than 1. I find that interesting, as the askjeeves site is not promoting anything, and obviously the Tylenol report is. Despite this, the cox2 report, although down playing this benefit, did at least mention it. Both sound like long term use is not ideal. BTW, I find that Alleve is very helpful for RLS, but again, I'm sure daily use is not good, although I haven't researched it yet. Next job! Although I say I would give anything to find relief, I really don't want to put my stomach, liver, and kidneys at risk in the process! Please enlighten me if I have interpreted any of the reports incorrectly, as some of the language is pretty technical, and I'm not a medical person - only teach 5th grade! ne, 59, Lawrenceville, NJ On Fri, 9 Apr 1999 00:04:25 EDT RAINBOWPED@... writes: >From: RAINBOWPED@... > >www.cox2facts.com > >Warning: published by the makers of Tylenol > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Did you know that ONElist hosts some of the largest lists on the >Internet? >http://www.ONElist.com >Our scaleable system is the most reliable free e-mail service on the >Internet! >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >This forum is for support only.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 1999 Report Share Posted April 9, 1999 Just went back to askjeeves and it DOES say that Celebrex has fewer GI problems, and that renal problems are rare. (should have done this before writing the first time!) Also looked up Aleve (Naproxen) and that has more adverse reactions than either of 1 or 2. I'm getting confused at this point - a little knowledge is a dangerous thing! Anxiety may be my next " syndrome " ! ne, 59, Lawrenceville, NJ On Fri, 9 Apr 1999 00:04:25 EDT RAINBOWPED@... writes: >From: RAINBOWPED@... > >www.cox2facts.com > >Warning: published by the makers of Tylenol > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Did you know that ONElist hosts some of the largest lists on the >Internet? >http://www.ONElist.com >Our scaleable system is the most reliable free e-mail service on the >Internet! >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >This forum is for support only.

But I believe you mentioned that you take it when you need it and not everynight/day. Is that correct? If so are you then saying you take it almost as a pain medication? How many mgs. do you take. I was only taking 50 at night but the doc said I could increase it. >> I do not take Celebrex every day 'cause of the dyspepsia......heart burn. I take it when my osteoarthritic knee is acting-up. Also, I make sure that I take it with food/drink and I will sometimes chase-it with an antacid too (e.g. Zantac, MOM, Tums or Tritec). It is my understanding that Celebrex only comes in 100mg or 200 mg caps. Supposedly, 100mg twice a day or 200 mg once a day for osteoarthritis and 200mg twice a day for rheumatoid arthritis. I usually take 100mg once or twice a day depending on the severity of my knee. Rarely, I will take 200mg twice a day if absolutely really necessary but I don't like to do that 'cause I am worried about ulcers, you know. I use to take Indocin-SR (75mg) and it worked great for my knee along with an unexpected benefit that it seemed to really help my RLS! In fact, I was at the point where I would take my Indocin routinely for my RLS instead of just for my knee pain. If I had an absolute choice between my Permax or my Indocin for my RLS, I would choose the Indocin! Really! However, unfortunately, the Indocin was really tough on my stomach and I could not continue doing that. Unfortunately, the Celebrex does not seem to have much effect on my RLS but it is wonderful for my knee. IMHO & YMMV RAINBOWPED@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 the whole idea of nsaids and acne and rosacea treatment began over a decade ago wherein kligman did a study with ibuprofen and tetracycline combined for patients resistant to tetracycline treatment. the study turned out well, but this idea never really took off. instead, for quick relief of acne and inflammatory rosacea, especially terrible forms such as acne congloblata and rosacea fulminans, prednisolone is worked into the treatment regimen. this is really unfortunate because of the bad metabolic and endocrinologic problems of corticosteroids. if some sort of nsaid regimen could be shown to be equal or better than corticosteroids, this would be a great advance in inflammatory rosacea treatment. we need a good trial of all the newer nsaids at various doses with and without antibiotics to see what is the optimal remigmen, if any. currently no one really knows for sure the true status and efficacy of nsaids in the treatment of rosacea. > Following the recent queries about Celebrex. It is one of the new type of anti-inflammatories. I have been taking it for the past 4 months for arthritis. It helps with the inflammation and joint pain. However, reading the list of side effects is very offputting! I haven't noticed any difference with my rosacea while I've been taking it. > > Gill > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
