How Celebrex Should Be Taken When Prescribed

Celebrex should be taken exactly as it's prescribed by your physician. Users should avoid taking the medication in larger amounts; or taking it for longer than recommended by your doctor.  Follow the directions on your prescription label.  It is recommended that Celebrex not be taken on an empty stomach, in order to avoid nausea. The extended release capsule should not be crushed, chewed, broken or otherwise tampered with.  As such, the pill sh! ould be swallowed whole. That's because the time-release capsule is specially made to release medicine slowly into the body.  Breaking or opening the pill would thereby cause too much of the drug to be released into your system at one time. When taking the oral suspension liquid version of the drug, it should be shaken well (just before you measure a dose). To be sure you get the correct dosage, measure the liquid with a marked measuring spoon, as opposed to a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dosage-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one. If you take Celebrex for a long period of time, your doctor may want to check you on a regular basis, for any potential harmful effects.
