Celebrex Heart Risks

Studies show that Celebrex, the the Cox-2 inhibitor painkiller, doubles the risk of heart disease when taken at a 400 mg dosage.

The study explains that despite the benefit of severely reducing the risk that precancerous colon polyps will grow back, Celebrex's heart risks outweigh its polyp prevention benefit for the average person.

Because of the possible danger, the FDA now requires a warning on the drugs' label.

Weitz & Luxenberg is no longer accepting Celebrex cases.
