My mother-in-law had taken CELEBREX for years to help her arthritis. No problems, until she was given a new medicine which caused her head to itch, seriously all day long. We tried everything, Doctors, Dermatoligists, Pharmacies. No one could tell us what it was. She was so pitiful. Dr. said it was probably dry scalp.
About 2 years after she died, I was given CELEBREX with the same results, as my mother-in-law. I could not keep my hands from my head. I know how terrible that can be.
