Celebrex And Pregnancy: I Have Psoriatic Arthritis Posted: 09-30-03 06:13am
Hi,
i am taking celebrex and my gp has told me
that they dont know either way if celebrex
is harmful to the baby while your
pregnant.
As I would like to have a child soon, I
would like to hear from anyone who has
been pregnant whilst they had arthritis.
I have psoriatic arthritis and rely on the
celebrex to be able to function normally
each day.
Can you share with me what you took
whilst pregnant and what you did to cope
with the condition?
Cheers
mel

What I Have Heard Posted: 10-02-03 16:41pm
Hi there!
I am an sle patient who suffers from
disease induced arthritis and I have taken
a lot of nsaids.
It has been my understanding that these
type of drugs are often inhibitors of
pregnancy. I have always been told by my
rheumatologist & a high risk pregancy
doctor that getting pregnant without any
meds is always the best way.
And remember, no one is *ever* going to do
trials on pregnant women. That is just
unethical. So, the reality is that there
is no way of knowing what may occur on
that drug.
I hope this helps in some small way!
Hugs,

The company that has created celebrex is
now under pressure to take it off the
market. It can lead to some very bad
heart problems.
