Any one have side effects take Celebrex? I heard it was taken off the market a few years back for causing heart attacks. Any one know it that is true?

" When you take celebrex. Be sure you do not have any kidney problems. if you do think twice it will contribute to kidney failure.

I was not told this when i was prescribed celebrex.

When I had a bacterial pneumonia I was on a ventilator my kidneys shut down.

The kidney SR took me off celevres and said I should never been put on it.

As Cowboy said it has caused heart attacks. Again Viox was much worse regarding the heart.

here is a site I found for side effects

http://www.drugs.com/celebrex.html

I believe we need to be proactive when we have medical problems, ask ? ask ?
