| FDA warns of Celebrex side effects - doubles the chances of heart attacks and strokes
Celebrex side effects include the increased risk of heart problems among those taking it in high doses. Pfizer announced its finding on Friday, Dec. 17, 2004.
The National Cancer Institute discovered that patients taking 400mg to 800mg of Celebrex daily had a 2.5 times greater risk of experiencing major side effects, such as heart problems, than those who were taking the placebo or sugar pill..
While Pfizer has no plans to pull Celebrex from the market at this time; the FDA said that it was considering requiring warning labels for Celebrex or withdrawing the pain killer from the U.S. market.
Celebrex, in the same class of pain killers as Florida Vioxx and Bextra, is the most-prescribed drug for treating arthritis. In the first 9 months of 2004, worldwide sales of Celebrex had reached $2.29 billion.
