Question:
Does celebrex come in tablet form?

Yesterday my PCP gave me Celebrex in capsule form for shoulder bursitis. This a.m. I dropped a capsule in a small glass of tepid water. 2 hours later the meds are still in the capsule. Is this what happens in my body? Should I open the capsule, slit it, what? Or, does Celebrex come in tablet form?    — Doris R. (posted on May 12, 2001)

I went up the scale with arthritis meds and I don't remember celebrex being a capsule. I think i went from Arthrotec, Celebrex, to Vioxx, which seemed to be easiest on my stomach.

I have been taking celebrex twice a day for 2 years. I am currently taking it once a day. I starting taking it again about 3 days post op without any trouble. My back problems are a lot better and that is why the reduced amount.

Try opening up the capsules and mixing the powder with a small amount of your food-I mix mine with yogurt and it is almost tastless!
