Celebrex Contraindications A brief guide to Celebrex contraindications     As part of the class of medications known as "nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs," there are many potential consequences associated with the prescription medication Celebrex. Celebrex contraindications are guidelines as to who should not be issued this medication. Additionally, users must follow prescription intake guidelines exactly to avoid a Celebrex overdose. Before speaking with a physician about whether this blood can help manage your arthritis or menstrual cramps pain, it is important to have an understanding of what the Celebrex contraindications are.     Several types of patients should not be prescribed the medication. To determine whether you are among those patients who are proscribed from taking the drug under the manufacturer's Celebrex contraindications, a doctor will ask you whether you have ever had an asthma attack or allergic reaction to the indication of similar medications, including aspirin. Even without a Celebrex overdose, such patients are risk if they take the medication. In patients who have had particular types of bypass surgery recently, this is among the type of Celebrex contraindications that bar you from taking the drug. You must inform a physician about your medical history, as well as any drugs you are currently taking.     You may not now if you are allergic to the active ingredients. If so, you should be alert to any allergic reactions which occur when you begin treatment. While you may not experience a Celebrex overdose, skin irritations and difficulty breathing are both dangerous and require immediate medical attention.      Some medical conditions are not categorized as Celebrex contraindications. However, they are indications that a patient's course of treatment must be carefully observed. Patients with a history of heart failure must be carefully monitored for any sign of a worsening of their condition or a Celebrex overdose. Likewise, liver problems, ulcers and hypertension are not Celebrex contraindications. However, patients with such conditions are at risk for having these conditions aggravated.      Even without a Celebrex overdose, it is possible to develop gastrointestinal problems such as internal bleeding or ulcers. You must inform a physician immediately about such conditions. Though these are not Celebrex contraindications, they are indications that you may be harming your body through treatment.     To avoid a Celebrex overdose, do not exceed the maximum daily dose of 400 mg. A physician will adjust your intake regimen as necessary. You risk a Celebrex overdose if you take more pills than prescribed in an attempt to control pain. Though death has not been reported as a consequence, it is possible to wind up in a coma as a result. There are no codified guidelines for the treatment of a Celebrex overdose.     Follow a physician's guidelines precisely to minimize your risk of serious side effects. If you experience long-lasting medical consequences as the result of a Celebrex overdose, the responsibility will be yours. You will not be able to sue a physician or the manufacturer for damages in compensation, since you have failed to follow their guidelines.
