Celebrex Side Effects

Celebrex is know to cause side effects. The magnitude of these increases with dosage and the duration of Celebrex therapy. Also, elderly, frail or debilitated patients often seem to experience more frequent or more severe side effects. Although these side effects are not common, when they do occur they may require medical attention. No substantial differences in safety and effectiveness of Celebrex were observed between elderly and younger subjects. However, greater sensitivity of some older patients cannot be ruled out.

Celebrex side effects may include:

• bloody or black tarry stools;
• shortness of breath, wheezing, any trouble in breathing or tightness in the chest;
