Proteoglycan synthesis rate (A), percentage release of newly formed proteoglycans (B), percentage total release of proteoglycans (C) and proteoglycan content (D) of femoral (closed symbols, solid lines) and tibial (open symbols, dashed lines) cartilage are depicted. These effects cannot be studied easily in clinical trials and therefore they are generally ignored in clinical practice because (intrinsic) cartilage changes, catabolic and anabolic, are rather slow processes in OA.

The effects of NSAID on the matrix of human articular cartilages. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2002; 10:432–63. Surgery was carried out through a 2–2.5 cm medial incision close to the patellar ligament in the right knee. However, this is difficult because gastrointestinal side-effects of conventional NSAIDs are much more severe in dogs than in humans [All together, this study showed no beneficial effect of celecoxib on the proteoglycan turnover of experimentally induced OA. Celecoxib at doses of 100mg BID, 200mg QD, 200mg BID and 400mg QD in these studies demonstrated significant improvement in pain, global disease activity and function in ankylosing spondylitis.Five randomised double-blind controlled studies have been conducted including scheduled upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in approximately 4500 patients free from initial ulceration (celecoxib doses from 50 mg - 400 mg BID). At the end of the experiment, the dogs were euthanized with an intravenous injection of euthesate (Na-pentobarbital). • Adverse reactions reported at incidence rates greater than placebo for subjects treated with celecoxib 400 mg daily in long-term polyp prevention trials of duration up to 3 years (the Adenoma Prevention with Celecoxib (APC) and Prevention of Colorectal Sporadic Adenomatous Polyps (PreSAP trials); see section 5.1, Pharmacodynamic properties: Cardiovascular safety – long-term studies involving patients with sporadic adenomatous polyps). For the primary endpoint complicated ulcers (defined as gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation or obstruction) celecoxib was not significantly different than either ibuprofen or diclofenac individually. • Patients who have experienced asthma, acute rhinitis, nasal polyps, angioneurotic oedema, urticaria or other allergic-type reactions after taking acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) or other NSAIDs including COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) inhibitors.

Dialysis is unlikely to be an efficient method of medicinal product removal due to high protein binding.Pharmacotherapeutic group: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic drugs, NSAIDs, Coxibs. It may also play a role in ulcer healing. Data on direct effects of conventional NSAIDs on cartilage are numerous, but results are far from conclusive [Thus, although NSAIDs may be very useful regarding symptoms in OA, reducing pain and inflammation, they may interfere directly with the processes of cartilage degeneration and regeneration. Two isoforms, COX-1 and COX-2, have been identified. In utmost flexion, 10 longitudinal and diagonal grooves were made on the weight-bearing parts of the femoral condyles without damaging the subchondral bone [Starting 2 days after surgery, the dogs were let out daily on the patio. Therefore, antiplatelet therapies should not be discontinued (see section 5.1).As with other medicinal products known to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, fluid retention and oedema have been observed in patients taking celecoxib. Lukoschek M, Schaffler MB, Burr DB, Boyd RD, Radin EL. Marijnissen AC, van Roermund PM, TeKoppele JM, Bijlsma JW, Lafeber FP. Thank you for submitting a comment on this article. Celecoxib has been shown to cause malformations in the two animal species studied (see section 4.6 and 5.3). Therefore blood pressure should be monitored closely during the initiation of therapy with celecoxib and throughout the course of therapy.Compromised renal or hepatic function and especially cardiac dysfunction are more likely in the elderly and therefore medically appropriate supervision should be maintained.NSAIDs, including celecoxib, may cause renal toxicity.

Even though these were identified as reactions from post-marketing reports, trial data were consulted to estimate frequency. However, in healthy subjects, in small multiple dose studies with 600 mg BID (three times the highest recommended dose) celecoxib had no effect on platelet aggregation and bleeding time compared to placebo.Several clinical studies have been performed confirming efficacy and safety in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
