Celecoxib Orion is used in adults for symptom relief in the treatment of chronicrheumatoid arthritis<\/strong> , osteoarthritis<\/strong> and pelvic pondylitis<\/strong> (Mb. Bechterews, rheumatic back disease). Celecoxib Orion belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs ), and more specifically to the subgroup COX-2inhibitors. Your body produces prostaglandins that can cause pain and inflammationand in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis , your body produces more of them. Celecoxib Orion works by reducing the production of prostaglandins and thus reducing pain and inflammation . You can expect the medicine to start working within a few hours after taking the first dose, but it may take several days before it takes full effect. Celecoxib contained in Celecoxib Orion may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professionals if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Celecoxib Orion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like other NSAIDs (eg ibuprofen or diclofenac ), this medicine may cause high blood pressure , so your doctor may ask you to have your blood pressure checked regularly. Some cases of severe hepatic reaction have been reported following the use of celecoxib, such as severe hepatitis, liver damage, liver failure (some cases fatal, or requiring liver transplantation). In cases where the onset of symptoms was reported, most severe liver reactions were seen within one month of starting treatment. Celecoxib Orion may make it harder to get pregnant.
