What Generic Bextra is used for?

Generic Bextra is used to treat joint pain, tenderness, swelling and stiffness:

• in osteoarthritis and
• in rheumatoid arthritis

Generic Bextra is also used to relieve short-term pain, in cases such as:

• menstrual cramps (period pain)
• following surgery
• dental pain

Generic Bextra belongs to a group of medicines called Coxibs. Although Generic Bextra can relieve the symptoms of pain and inflammation, it will not cure your condition.

Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Generic Bextra has been prescribed for you.

Before you take Generic Bextra

Do not take Generic Bextra if:

1. You have an allergy to:

   • Generic Bextra
   • any of the ingredients listed at the end of this leaflet
   • sulphonamides, a group of medicines which include, for example, certain antibiotics (If you are not sure if you are taking one of these medicines ask your Pharmacist).

   Symptoms of an allergic reaction to these medicines may include:

   • asthma, wheezing or shortness of breath
   • swelling of the face, lips or tongue which may cause difficulty in swallowing or breathing
   • hives, itching or skin rash
   • fainting

   If you are allergic to sulphonamides or any of the capsule ingredients and take Generic Bextra, these symptoms may be severe.

   Ask your doctor or pharmacist if any of this applies to you.

2. You have had an attack of asthma, hives, itching, skin rash or a runny nose after taking aspirin or Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs, medicines used to treat pain and inflammation).

   Many medicines used to treat headache, period pain and other aches and pains contain aspirin or an NSAID.

   If you are allergic to aspirin or NSAIDs and use Generic Bextra, these symptoms may be severe.

3. You are already taking an NSAID
4. The expiry date printed on the packaging has passed, even though the tablets may look alright.

   • Generic Bextra use is not recommended in pregnancy unless your doctor considers it essential. Discuss this with your doctor.

3. You are breastfeeding or intend to breast-feed

   • Since it is not known whether Generic Bextra passes into breast milk or whether your baby might be affected, Generic Bextra should not be used during breastfeeding.

   • liver or kidney problems
   • asthma, hives, itching, skin rash or a runny nose
   • high blood pressure, heart failure or fluid retention
