celadrex or celadrin

[crimson]

Any information on your experience upon using this kind of medication? Which is more appropriate for you?

Never heard of celadrex, looked it up, it's a "natural" medicine (herbs etc.)

Just don't confuse celadrex with celebrex, which has been an absolute godsend for me for many years in relieving the pain of osteoarthritis (and I hope RA as well, as I will likely develop pain there). I can't use NSAID's, and if I didn't have celebrex I probably wouldn't be walking much at all.

Thanks for the information kageyd! I have posted a thread regarding Celebrex, it's a good read too. ^^

an additional article to know more about celebrex, which is one of the most efficient drug for pain relief, as stated by Kageyd.






FDA Approves Celebrex For Osteoarthritis And Rheumatoid Arthritis

CHICAGO, IL -- Jan. 4, 1999 -- The United States Food and Drug Administration has approved G.D. Searle & Co.’s and Pfizer Inc.’s Celebrex (celecoxib) for relief of the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA) and adult rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Celebrex is an important treatment alternative for millions of people with arthritis. Celebrex was tested in clinical trials that involved over 13,000 patients and healthy volunteers enrolled in more than 50 different clinical studies in 23 countries world-wide. In clinical trials, Celebrex was shown to be as effective as the prescription-strength nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) naproxen in treating arthritis pain and inflammation.
