WARNING: If you are currently taking the prescription drug Celebrex, you may be at risk for serious health problems including heart attack and stroke.

More than 27 million people have taken the prescription drug Celebrex, manufactured by Pfizer, since it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration on December 31, 1998. The drug is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory which is known as a Cox-2 inhibitor. Celebrex is widely used to treat arthritis pain, menstrual cramps, osteoarthritis, adult rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation, and other types of serious pain. The drug has also been used by patients who suffer from Adenomatous Polyposis to decrease the amount of polyps on the intestines.

Many reputable organizations, including the American Heart Association, have inquired as to whether or not using Celebrex places patients at an increased risk for a stroke or heart attack.

Since Celebrex was released in 1998 there have been concerns regarding the effects of Celebrex, as it has been associated with dangerous cardiovascular problems. The upside of Celebrex is that it does not damage stomachs like similar drugs, but studies have shown that the drug may cause dangerous heart problems.

This is a very important health concern, especially following the removal of the Cox-2 drug Vioxx from the market in September of 2004. Vioxx, manufactured by Merck, was removed from the market because patients taking the drug had suffered from a variety of cardiovascular problems including heart attacks and strokes.

If you have experienced any side effects while taking the drug Celebrex, you may be at risk for a variety of serious health problems. If you have suffered from any of the side effects listed below you should seek medical attention from your health care provider immediately:

• Blackened stool
