Attention Celebrex® Consumers:
The FDA declined to comment about whether it will withdraw
Celebrex® from the market, but noted that “we do have great
concerns about this product and this class of products”
(Acting FDA Commissioner Lester Crawford, Wall Street
Journal, December 20, 2004). The agency asked Pfizer to
pull its advertisements for Celebrex® from television,
radio, magazines, and newspapers.
Although Pfizer said it will temporarily remove the
Celebrex® ads, the company will continue to sell the drug.
It also agreed to inform doctors prescribing Celebrex® that
they should consider alternative treatments for patients
(FDA Press Release, December 20, 2004).
