What is Amlodipine And Celecoxib?

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. Celecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

Amlodipine and celecoxib is a combination medicine used in adults who have both osteoarthritis and high blood pressure (hypertension).

Amlodipine and celecoxib may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Celecoxib can increase your risk of fatal heart attack or stroke, even if you don't have any risk factors. Do not use this medicine just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).

Celecoxib may also cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, which can be fatal. These conditions can occur without warning while you are using amlodipine and celecoxib, especially in older adults.

You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to amlodipine (Norvasc) or celecoxib (Celebrex), or if you have:

  • an allergy to sulfa drugs; or
  • a history of asthma attack or severe allergic reaction after taking aspirin or an NSAID.

Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

  • a stomach ulcer, bleeding in your stomach or intestines;
  • bleeding problems;
  • heart problems, coronary artery disease;
  • liver or kidney disease; or
  • if you smoke or drink alcohol.

If you are pregnant, you should not take celecoxib unless your doctor tells you to. Taking an NSAID during the last 20 weeks of pregnancy can cause serious heart or kidney problems in the unborn baby and possible complications with your pregnancy.

This medicine may affect fertility (ability to have children) in women. Ask your doctor about this risk.

It may not be safe to breastfeed while using this medicine. Ask your doctor about any risk.

How should I use Amlodipine And Celecoxib

Use Amlodipine And Celecoxib (Oral) exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Use the lowest dose that is effective in treating your condition.

You may take this medicine with or without food.

Your blood pressure will need to be checked often.

You may have new or worsening chest pain when you first start taking this medicine, or when your dose is increased. Call your doctor if your chest pain is severe or ongoing.

Keep using amlodipine and celecoxib even if you feel well. Do not change your dose or dosing schedule without your doctor's advice.

Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What should I do if I missed a dose of Amlodipine And Celecoxib (Oral)?

Take the medicine as soon as you can, but skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take two doses at one time.
