Bextra is used to relieve:

• symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in adults 
• painful menstrual cycles   

Bextra has been Shown to Cause the Following:

• Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (skin reaction)
• Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (skin reaction)
• Erythema Multiforme (skin reaction)
• Exfoliative Dermatitis (Erythroderma)
• Gastrointestinal Disorders (ulcers and bleeding)
• Heart Attack
• Stroke

Special Warnings with Bextra:

Bextra and all NSAID medications can cause stomach ulcers that bleed. The chance of this serious problem increases the longer you take Bextra, but it can also happen suddenly. Stop taking Bextra and call your doctor right away if you get: 

• a burning stomach pain 
• black bowel movements that look like tar 
• vomit that looks like blood or coffee grounds 

General Precautions with Bextra:

Bextra and other NSAID medications can cause serious problems such as liver damage. Some of the warning signs of liver damage are nausea, vomiting, tiredness, loss of appetite, itching, yellow coloring of skin or eyes, “flu-like” symptoms and dark urine. If you still have this medicine from a prescription, you should not use it.  If you have any of the symptoms described above call your doctor right away. 

Bextra can cause fluid retention (holding of water in your body). Fluid retention can be a serious problem if you have high blood pressure or heart failure. 

 Bextra is especially dangerous if you have asthma and are allergic to aspirin. If an aspirin-sensitive asthmatic takes aspirin it can cause severe narrowing of the airway (bronchospasm), and even death. The same reactions to aspirin and other NSAID medicines happened in aspirin-sensitive patients.
