Celebrex
Celebrex is a prescription drug that relieves arthritis pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Celebrex may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. This chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors for it, such as high blood pressure, or when NSAIDs are taken for long periods. Celebrex is manufactured by Pfizer.
