  • Celecoxib, Celebrex, Celebra, Onsenal IUPAC- Name
    Celecoxib Medical name: Celecoxib, Celebrex, Celebra, Onsenal IUPAC- name: 4-[5-(4-Methylphenyl)-3- (trifluoromethyl) pyrazol- 1-yl]benzenesulfonamide Formula: C17H14F3N3O2S (molar mass: 381,373 g/mol) Celecoxib, also known as Celebrex, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used as long-term treatment of physical illnesses like osteoarthritis, chronic polyarthritis and Morbus Bechterew. The drug was developed by the US- American pharmacologist Philip Needleman and fielded by a pharmaceutical company called Pfizer. History: As vice president and manager of all chemical actions of the pharmaceutical and biotechnological company Pharmacia, Philip Needleman supervised the study of the experimental research of the enzyme Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2). The enzyme already was discovered by the Birmingham Young University in 1991. Its function is transmitting pain signals to the brain. Needleman’s ambition was to find a substance which is capable to inhibit the enzyme. On December, 31 in 1998 the research study lead to the NSAID drug Celecoxib. Rofecoxib, a similar drug which is able to inhibit COX-2 as well, has been taken off the market due to the fact that the drug caused strokes and heart attacks. As a consequence, an excessive demand for Celecoxib arose, despite of analogical adverse effects. Primary, the drug was created as a pain reliever for a long-term treatment with improved effects to the gastrointestinal passage compared to other NSAIDs. It is effective likewise ibuprofen and paracetamol. Celecoxib supposedly is “better in protecting the stomach from serious complications than other drugs”. The company Pharmacia and the concern Pfizer based their advertisement for Celecoxib on this statement.

  • B96i. Nsaids 2.1 Approximately 2 Million Prescription Items (13% of All NSAID Items) Per Year in Primary Care in England
    Community Interest Company Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) Over £70 million is spent annually on all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including cyclo-oxygenase II (COX-2) inhibitors, in England (ePACT Nov 14 - Jan 15). QIPP projects in this area focus on reducing prescribing of NSAIDs for cost and safety reasons, by adhering to current guidance. Recommendations • Regularly review the appropriateness of NSAID prescribing, especially in people who are at higher risk of both gastrointestinal (GI) and cardiovascular (CV) and renal morbidity and mortality, e.g. older people.1 Consider switching to a lower risk NSAID where appropriate. • Advise patients to exercise as a core treatment for osteoarthritis, to improve muscle strength and general aerobic fitness.2 • Consider paracetamol and/or topical NSAIDs (according to local formulary) before oral NSAIDs, COX- 2 inhibitors or opioids.2 • Choose the NSAID with the lowest CV, renal and/or GI risk, depending upon the individual patient’s risk factors.2 • Do not prescribe NSAIDs where contraindicated (CI). Only prescribe NSAIDs in patients at risk of renal impairment/failure (particularly the elderly) where unavoidable.3 • If an NSAID is needed then prescribe the lowest dose for the shortest duration,1-3 e.g. ibuprofen (≤1200mg daily in divided doses) or naproxen (≤1000mg daily in divided doses).1,3 These are associated with a lower CV risk than other NSAIDs.1,3 • COX-2 inhibitors, diclofenac (150mg daily) and ibuprofen (2.4g daily) are associated with an increased risk of thrombotic events. The increased risk for diclofenac is similar to that of licensed doses of etoricoxib.3 • Diclofenac has been associated with increased risk of recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) or death, from the beginning of treatment.4 • Co-prescribe a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) with lowest acquisition cost for gastroprotection in patients with a high risk of GI bleeds in: » Patients ≥65 years2 » Long term NSAID use, e.g.

Among the available tocolytics, indomethacin, a prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor, has been in use since the 1970s.
