This activity is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the latest evidence and guidelines for safely and effectively utilizing celecoxib, a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with diverse indications in pain management and disease prevention. Participants will be given the latest information contributing to the comprehensive understanding of celecoxib, covering its mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, metabolism, and elimination. The program will also explore crucial aspects such as dosing, monitoring, and potential interactions with other drugs and foods.Furthermore, this activity will address the adverse event profile of celecoxib, including common and severe effects such as gastrointestinal ulcers, bleeding, renal impairment, cardiovascular events, and hypersensitivity reactions. Practical insights will be provided on adjusting celecoxib doses based on patient characteristics and renal function tests. Specific indications for celecoxib in conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, acute pain in adult women, primary dysmenorrhea, and familial adenomatous polyposis will be thoroughly discussed, enabling participants to make informed decisions in various clinical scenarios. By completing this program, healthcare professionals will enhance their knowledge, skills, and confidence in prescribing and discussing celecoxib, ultimately improving patient outcomes and promoting safer medication practices in their clinical practice.
