The Drug Celebrex

Celebrex is a widely prescribed pharmaceutical drug, with well publicized criticism. When I was checking on the hazards of this drug, I noticed the MSDS sheet shows many of the items as "Non Known". Believing this was not really an acceptable method of giving the public the information it needs, I checked into the requirements for the MSDS sheets. This is the MSDS on Celebrex.

The following is a paragraph I copied from Interactive Learning Paradigms, Incorporated which specializes in custom e-learning solutions, consulting and more.

Do I have to write an MSDS for new chemicals that I create in the laboratory?

Generally, no. But if you plan on distributing these chemicals to others outside of your laboratory (for example, sending samples to other researchers), then you meet OSHA's definition of a chemical manufacturer and must create an MSDS for the materials. This is assuming the new chemical meets OSHA's definition of hazardous, which is a fairly good assumption for most chemicals. While this sounds daunting - creating an MSDS for a few grams of material nobody has ever made before and has myriad unknown properties, most of the information on your MSDS will simply read "Not known" or something similar. See the question Who can write an MSDS? for authoring tips.
This applies for any amount of material you may be wishing to send elsewhere. The HazCom Standard is based on whether on not a material is hazardous, not the risk associated with a given amount of hazardous material.

What I find interesting is that on this site, section 8, they state that a chemical does not necessarily have to be identified. Which means you could potentially be harmed more than anticipated, even if you knew the effects of the chemicals you thought were in said drug.

This is some information from which shows some of the hazard of Celebrex.

WARNING: CARDIOVASCULAR AND GASTROINTESTINAL RISKS

Cardiovascular Risk

Celebrex may cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. All nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may have a similar risk. This risk may increase with duration of use. Patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease may be at greater risk.
Celebrex is contraindicated for the treatment of perioperative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Gastrointestinal Risk

NSAIDs, including Celebrex, cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. These events can occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms. Elderly patients are at greater risk for serious gastrointestinal events.

Serious side effects include:
heart attack
stroke
high blood pressure
heart failure from body swelling (fluid retention)
kidney problems including kidney failure
bleeding and ulcers in the stomach and intestine
low red blood cells (anemia)
life-threatening skin reactions
life-threatening allergic reactions
liver problems including liver failure
asthma attacks in people who have asthma
Other side effects include:
stomach pain
constipation
diarrhea
gas
heartburn
nausea
vomiting
dizziness


Still want to take Celebrex? Rapid detox with the Stanley Burroughs Master Cleanse will do everything you want Celebrex to do, without the side effects. If you have never cleansed though, you would want to start off slow, due to the detox cleanses have on the body. Detoxing too fast can create a flu-like condition due to the body having to remove massive amounts of toxins rapidly. The body typically has a hard time keeping up, since most people in the civilized world, eat junk, like doughnuts, sodas, packaged foods with transfats, sugars, exito-toxins, and other chemicals in the Standard American Diet.

The reason the body gets sick is mostly due to the digestive system being overloaded, usually with garbage. Even many who eat healthy foods can get sick, because they don't know HOW to eat those foods, and forget to take into account other things such as toxins given off by the carpeting in their homes; the mold growing in their basement, bedrooms, laundry room and bathroom, cookware, chlorinated/fluoridated water, and more.
