BEXTRABEXTRA (Valdecoxib) provides powerful arthritis pain relief. How does BEXTRA work?It is a powerful medicine that targets an important source of arthritis pain. It is what doctors call a “COX-2 specific inhibitor”. The body produces both COX-2 and a related enzyme called COX-1. The COX-2 enzyme plays a role in causing arthritis pain and inflammation. The COX-1 enzyme is important because one of the things it does is help the body produce chemicals that protect the lining of the stomach. The medication works by targeting the action of the COX-2 enzyme to relieve the pain, stiffness and inflammation associated with arthritis. But, at recommended doses, it does not target the COX-1 enzyme. Who should not take BEXTRA? The prescription is not for everyone. It should not be taken if you’ve had allergic reactions to certain drugs called sulfonamides, aspirin or other arthritis medicines or if you’ve had aspirin-sensitive asthma. It is not recommended if you have advanced kidney disease. The medication should not be taken in late pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you have kidney, liver or fluid retention problems. In rare cases, serious stomach problems such as bleeding can occur without warning. Serious skin reactions can occur. If you experience any of these problems or other severe or unusual symptoms while taking it, tell your doctor immediately. The most common side effects are headache, abdominal pain, indigestion, upper respiratory infection, nausea and diarrhea.
