Does Taking Celecoxib Cause Gastric Side Effects ?
celecoxib is a cox-2 inhibitor so it is supposed to cause less gastric upset symptoms. But is it still possible to have gastric side effects?

Hi Sakshi
Theoretically speaking there should be no GIT side effects. But different studies have shown minor side effects do come up with cox-2 inhibitors also. So it is still a debatable topic.
Out of all the NSAIDS , cox-2 inhibitors have the least gastric side effects. That is for sure.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!
