The agency said the safety warning is based on two studies that have not been completed so far. That study found that children taking Celebrex had a higher risk of stomach ulcers, kidney failure, and death when compared to children who took a placebo. However, the study also found that Celebrex also had a higher incidence of serious side effects, including liver injury, bone marrow depression, and psychiatric symptoms. However, the FDA has not approved Celebrex for use in children under the age of 18. However, parents and caregivers have expressed concerns over the safety of the drug.
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in November found that in adults who took Celebrex daily for a year, the risk of stomach ulcers was twice as high as for children who took a placebo. However, the study found that children who were not taking Celebrex at all had higher rates of bleeding and blood clots compared to children who took a placebo. The FDA has not approved Celebrex for use in children under the age of 18.
