I have not heard this, but the side effects are always listed with the medication or you could do a google search on it and see what the recall information says. If it is true, you can bet that someone is reporting on it.

I would think that you could google the side affects of drugs or go on the fda webpage and see what they have to say about it, they would have anything and everything about the drugs and their side affects on there. If you can't find the page let me know, I will pm you the link, can't put it here, it will violate the terms of service and they would just delete it anyway, let me know if you want it?

Im so sorry. I do not know so much about medicines.
I googled to find out that the tablets contain hydrogenated castor oil, hydroxypropylcellulose, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose and polyethylene glycol 6000 as inactive ingredients. The pink film coating contains ferric oxide, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 2910, lactose monohydrate, titanium dioxide and triacetin. The tablets are polished with Carnauba wax. I have read that there are adverse reactions like gastrointestinal hemorrhage, plavix used with aspirin leads to major bleeding. I think the excessive bleeding might be harmful for heart functioning but not sure regarding heart attacks. Only a doctor can give an absolutely right answer.

| I was just prescribed celebrex for my torn muscle. now i know it was pulled for a long time so i reserched it, and read all the side effects. to no surprise it said that there are a lot of side effects and if i get any of them call an attorney.get a load of this dont worry if you die, if you dont you might be able to sue them. theres gotta be a better system whats our doctors thinking? Im not takeing it nor any other meds until i reserch them and then it will be iffy. |

Don't worry if you die, well who would be around to worry if they are dead, LOL. Does it actually say that under side effects? Does your muscle doctor know about your heart condition? Have you told your heart doctor that you are going to be taking these medications? This is the one that I would be calling up if I were you. I would not depend on a piece of paper or a web page for advice, you should be talking to your cardioligist as soon as possible and before you start taking any of the medications prescribed by the other doctors that have nothing to do with your heart.
you should call you heart doctor and see what he says. |

| Yes my doctor said because of my heart condition im not a good canidate for the surgery because id be under annisesiary for an hour. I think id rather take my chances on surgery after reading the warnings on celebrex. You can go to www.celebrex.com and read for yourself. Its so unreal. |

| I don't know that the surgery is a good idea either, how bad is your pain? Is it something that you can live with and maybe doctor up with some ice or heat when it flares up, I would try the non medicated approach if you can find one that would work for you. Goodluck with this, would not want to be in your shoes. |

| thanks august but the doctor said it will only get worse so Im kinda screwed any way you look at it. the pain gets really bad some times and other times its gone for a day or so, but comes back full force. this is a result of a car accident so thats another factor, what i should do. Ill check on the insurance forum one of these days but i dont want to give out any imfomation that im not suppose to until they decide what thier gonna do about the shoulder, Im afraid to do anything at this point. |
