Is myopathy a side effect of CELEBREX ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of CELEBREX patients who developed myopathy.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 41 individuals taking CELEBREX reported myopathy to the FDA. A total of 51554 CELEBREX drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

FDA Research Report

Introduction This page is designed to help you determine the relationship, if any, between CELEBREX and myopathy. In doing so, we compare CELEBREX with other drugs that cause myopathy, to help you evaluate whether or not CELEBREX causes myopathy. Likewise, this page shows the most highly-reported side effects of CELEBREX, so you can see if myopathy ranks among CELEBREX's most well-known side effects.
