Patients taking celecoxib (Celebrex) because they cannot tolerate the GI effects of nonspecific NSAIDs could continue to do so, but should not exceed recommended dosage. For analgesia and osteoarthritis, acetaminophen (Tylenol, and others) or tramadol (Ultram, and others) are reasonable alternatives to NSAIDS. For rheumatoid arthritis, disease-modifying drugs (DMARDs) can be used.
因无法耐受非特异性非甾体抗炎药的胃肠道副作用而服用塞来昔布(西乐葆)的患者可以继续服用,但不应超过推荐剂量。对于镇痛和骨关节炎,对乙酰氨基酚(泰诺等)或曲马多(奇曼丁等)是替代非甾体抗炎药的合理选择。对于类风湿关节炎,可使用改善病情抗风湿药(DMARDs)。
