Celebrex Class Action
Knowing about Celebrex
Celebrex is one of the classes of drugs that are called Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID). Celebrex works by plummeting substances that cause inflammation, pain, and fever in the body.
Celebrex is used to:
- reduce pain
- inflammation, and
- stiffness caused by:
- osteoarthritis
- rheumatoid arthritis, and
- ankylosing spondylitis
Celebrex is also used to reduce the number of adenomatous colorectal polyps in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), to treat acute pain, and to treat pain associated with menstruation. Celebrex may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
Celebrex one of the top selling drugs
Celebrex, also know as Celecoxib, is one of the top ten selling drugs in the United States. But ironically, in the news, the results of a newly released study showed that the prescription painkiller Celebrex could be more than double the potential for strokes, heart attacks or even death. And this was also affirmed by the drug’s manufacturer, Pfizer, that they have found an increased risk of heart attacks with patients taking the painkiller Celebrex. Yet, they have no plans to remove it from the market.
In view of the investigation, Celebrex class action proceedings warrant that Pfizer is putting patients at a needless danger by permitting Celebrex to remain in the market.
Pfizer negligently selling a prescription drug
Celebrex class action court cases are being filed in the United States and other countries against the drug manufacturer. This has been filed charging the Pfizer with negligently selling a prescription drug regardless of the fact that it has the potential to cause serious side effects or even death in Celebrex users.
