Celebrex Contraindications And Safety

I just need to wonder if celebrex is ok to take if I have Mitral Valve Prolapse, heart murmur, allergic to sulfa medications will be ok for me to take without further hurting my existing problems. I also have a Hiatel Hernia and Reflux syndrome. Do you reccomend me to take this? My Dr. says it is up to him and to take it, even if it is not helping my pain. I am on 100mg's a day. Thank you.

No, reading your list of health problems I almost thought I must have originally posted it. If your doctor prescribe it for you then he/she already knows all your health issues. You don't state how long you've been on this med but if longer than 3 days and it's not helping then I would demand a change or go to another doctor.

It can take longer than 3 days for such a medication to start working, it sometimes takes about 4 to 6 weeks.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach irritation, headache, and increased risk of bleeding.

And no, ultimately it is up to you, not your doctor. You do not have to take any given medication they prescribe, though if you don't, they can drop you as a patient, but it is always your right to refuse anything, and to get another opinion if you wish.

Janet, why is your doctor not aware that you have acid reflux? Are you on any other medications?
