History section, as it was in the main article namespace.

==History== Apparently, Rochester claims that he should be entitled to the COX-2 patent (in a court claim).however, Pfizer took the patent because Rochester wasn’t able to prove evidence of written prescription requirements that will entitle him to the patent.

• I'm not sure what to make of this. It seems unencyclopaedic/irrelevant, but maybe it isn't. It also has a signature in it - perhaps we should be clear that we'd like posts signed everywhere but the main namespace! -- (James McNally)  (talkpage)  10:32, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Dr. Reuben

I wonder just how significant are Dr. Reuben's contributions to Celebrex research. Does the scandal merit inclusion in this article? There must be hundreds of researchers who publish articles about Celebrex. Why mention just one? Danglingdiagnosis (talk) 07:32, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Is it just me or does this article seem as though it was written by some PR person from Phizer?

I mean, there is a lot of "this study's results may possibly suggest side effects if you believe it" type language instead of "this study demonstrated side effects which are commonly accepted to exist in the medical community." The tone of the side effects section seems very biased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.9.53.25 (talk) 18:33, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Has anyone heard about research suggesting that long term, high dosage use (400 mg's daily) of Celebrex actually causes arthritis? I read that NSAIDs like Celebrex work by reducing inflammation which is desirable. However, it might also block the synthesis of new cartilage in joints which will, over time, contribute to degeneration. So, if you only have osteoarthritis in your knee, for example, Celebrex might cause degenerative arthritis in all of your joints. I'm concerned about this research because 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis (degenerative disc disease) in my lower back. Now, after taking maximum dose Celebrex with low dose Vicodin, I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia with constant, daily all-over pain. (69.109.156.184 (talk) 04:27, 23 September 2009 (UTC))

Hello I like to know something about this celebrex. I have been on this medcine and I was just told it has damaged my kidney's. I need answers. Please contact me. 832-397-9176 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.50.32.13 (talk) 22:03, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Yep, the part about the study to "to establish more conclusively the true cardiovascular risk profile of celecoxib" feels entirely entered with bias by Pfizer or another stakeholder. I think it's the word "true" that gives away bias, like this study will put any fears to rest once and for all, and all other studies are less "true". I suggest removing this paragraph or rewriting it to be more neutral. --66.119.170.242 (talk) 21:06, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Ankylosing spondylitis

(Please note: I am a patient and not medically qualified). This drug is (increasingly?) prescribed for ankylosing spondylitis - is this not significant enough to be mentioned in the article...?

Thanks mike —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.244.43.13 (talk) 11:58, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Mike, it has been added to the article. Ankylosing spondylitis is an FDA approved indication for celecoxib. 128.196.119.137 (talk) 16:09, 22 November 2010 (UTC)Ali.Sheth

Reliable Sources needed for recent addition

An editor boldly added interesting information to the article, but provided no reference(s) or citation(s) from reliable source(s) (see [1]). That same editor reverted the removal of that prior unsorted addition without discussion of any sort (see [2]). I've invited the editor to discuss their changes here. Thanks!

Interesting, actually anybody can find more scientific information about cox-2 in pubmed and get qualified citation there for editing purposes. Cox-2 produce both thromboxane and prostaglandin just like cox-1 at the biochemical level. And it is true that anti-inflammation medicine play key roles in combating vascular atherosclerosis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cannothelplaughing (talk • contribs) 01:14, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
