If you have persistent stomach upset, vomit blood or what looks like coffee grounds, or have black, tarry stools, contact your health care provider immediately. Avoid alcohol containing drinks while taking Celecoxib, even with short term use of Celecoxib.
Kirill K March 16, 2010 at 7:28 am: Celebrex may cause dizziness or drowsiness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol.
Serious stomach ulcers or bleeding can occur with the use of Celebrex . Taking it in high doses, for a long time, smoking, or drinking alcohol increases the risk of these side effects. Taking Celebrex with food will NOT reduce the risk of these effects.
So, you’d better stop drinking for some time
Good luck!
