What should I avoid while taking Celebrex?

While on Celebrex, you should avoid taking other NSAIDs, including over-the-counter versions, such as ibuprofen, to prevent an overdose. Even typical allergy, cold or pain medications found on the shelf in your local pharmacy may result in overdose because they contain drugs that act in a similar way as Celebrex. To lower your risk of stomach bleeding, avoid alcohol while on Celebrex.
