Doctor Finds Problems with Celebrex

In an article for Health Team 9, writer Elizabeth Cohen reports that Dr. Garrett Fitzgerald noticed problems with Celebrex more than five years ago.

It seems that Celebrex is effective, at least in part because it inhibits the production of a certain type of fat that is necessary for the protection of the heart. "When you shut down the fat you're exposing the cardiovascular system to danger, so it's really a double edged sword," Fitzgerald said.

Dr. Fitzgerald published his findings but received mixed reviews at best - especially from the phamaceutical companies like Pfizer (makers of Celebrex) who chose to rely on other studies that contradicted his results.
