A new study conducted at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) reveals that
Celebrex and other anti-inflammatory coxib medications may counter the positive
effects of aspirin in preventing blood clots.

The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
(PNAS), indicates that people who are taking aspirin and coxibs together are in
fact inhibiting the aspirin's effectiveness in preventing heart attacks and
strokes.

"This finding strongly suggests that humans who are consuming coxibs and a low
dose of aspirin simultaneously are exposed to a greater risk of cardiovascular
events," said Professor Gilad Rimon, Department of Clinical Pharmacology,
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel.

In the past decade, a new group of anti-inflammatory drugs, coxibs, which
include Celebrex and Arcoxia was developed to treat arthritis as well as other
pain. Arthritis patients who take Celebrex are instructed to take low-dose
aspirin to counteract Celebrex's own potential clot-promoting effect.
