The celebrex dosage used in that study was 400 mg 2 x day and the usual dosage for most people is 100 mg 2 X day; that is 1/4 of the dose cited in the study. Celebrex is a COX2 inhibitor which will work synergistically with HER2 treatments and also mitigate pro-cancer effects of morphine related drugs. Taking celebrex may be "playing the odds" however it is a personal decision we must face. I wonder if CO-Q10 helps reduce these effects?
Linda was given the warning about celebrex by her oncs and she opted to continue....given the available infomation. As well, celebrex is still on the market...
Regards,
Al
