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

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.
