co-codamol with Celecoxib

Midsummer

Hi and thanks for welcoming me to the group. I have osteoarthritis in both knees which has resulted in little sleep for the past week. My GP prescribed me with

200mg Celecoxib daily

but am still suffering with acute pain which increases when I try to sleep nightly.

Has anyone taken cocodamol with Celecoxib please?

Morning @Midsummer welcome to the online community.

Celecoxib, as you probably know, is a non steroidal anti inflammatory drug. Co-codamol is a painkiller or analgesic. Many of our members take a painkiller - from paracetamol to morphine - as well as an anti-inflammatory drug.
