Celebrex Side Effects
Celebrex side effects are serious and life threatening, with reports of death, cardiovascular problems, kidney and liver damages, and ulcers. The Celebrex side effects experienced were the source of criticism by many people that felt the company did its best to minimize the appearance of Celebrex side effects in order to gain an upper hand with competing arthritis drug Vioxx. Within months of its entrance to the U.S. market, Celebrex side effects were reported, accounting for 10 deaths and 11 instances of gastrointestinal hemorrhages.
The pharmaceutical company pushed for the removal of certain Celebrex side effects warning labels to be removed in order to gain marketing advantages. Celebrex patients immediately responded to Celebrex advertisements that showed the great benefits of the arthritis drug but did not seem to adequately warn of Celebrex side effects. The FDA sent Celebrex maker a letter due to the misrepresentation the agency felt the company was making about Celebrex in its attempts to deter attention away from Celebrex side effects.
