Managing arthritis with online sources

-
A website for arthritis, www.celebrex.com, hosted by pharmaceutical companies Pharmacia and Pfizer, provides resourceful information about relief from the pain and inflammation associated with ostearthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

While exploring the site, visitors can find answers to questions about living with arthritis, articles written by specialists at the Mayo Clinic, as well as links to other arthritis resources on the Web.

Some of the more helpful resources include topics like how to live more comfortably with arthritis, tips for home, work and play, eating and exercising to feel better, getting the most from medical visits, and how to talk to others about arthritis.

Patients can also access interviews and inputs from expert rheumatologists. Doctors give information on how to test for arthritis, while visitors are informed about questions to ask a doctor during visits, definitions of a rheumatologist, medications and complimentary therapies.

Celebrex (Celecoxib), which is featured on the site, is a scientific breakthrough medicine, the first product to target only the COX-2 enzyme, which plays a role in causing arthritis pain and inflammation.

COX-2 clinical trials have proven that Celebrex is effective at reducing arthritis pain, inflammation and stiffness.

It is also effective for the relief of pain and inflammation of one of the most severe forms of arthritis, RA.

Pharmacia Corp. is a leading global pharmaceutical company created through the merger of Pharmacia & Upjohn and Monsanto Co. with its G.D. Searle & Co. unit.

Pfizer is a global, research-based healthcare company that discovers, develops and manufactures innovative medicines.
