1 Dosing Considerations • The safety and efficacy of treating multiple migraine attacks with ELYXYB in a one-month period has not been studied. Therefore, ELYXYB should be used for the fewest number of days per month as needed, based on individual treatment goals, in order to minimize the potential risk for cardiovascular or gastrointestinal adverse events (see 2 CONTRAINDICATIONS; 3 SERIOUS WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS BOX; 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS).
• ELYXYB is not indicated for prophylaxis of migraine. 8 mL) taken orally, with or without food. 8 mL). The safety and efficacy of a second dose in a 24-hour period have not been studied. ELYXYB should be used for the fewest number of days per month, as needed.
Hepatic Impairment:
Mild: No dose adjustment is needed for patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh 5-6).
Moderate:
Caution should be exercised in administrating celecoxib to patients with moderate hepatic ELYXYB (celecoxib oral solution) Page 7 of 51 impairment based on history of celecoxib administration in those patients. 4 Administration).
Severe:
ELYXYB is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh > 9) (see 2 CONTRAINDICATIONS). 3 Pharmacokinetics, Special Populations and Conditions). ELYXYB is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min) (see 2 CONTRAINDICATIONS).
CYP2C9 Poor Metabolizers or Concomitant use of CYP2C9 inhibitors:
Caution should be exercised in administrating celecoxib to patients who are known, or suspected to be, CYP2C9 poor metabolizers based on previous history/experience with other CYP2C9 substrates or to patients who are concomitantly treated with CYP2C9 inhibitors.
3 Pharmacokinetics, Special Populations and Conditions). Pediatrics (< 18 years of age) Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use (see 2 CONTRAINDICATIONS). 4 Administration Patients must drink the entire amount of ELYXYB directly from the bottle.
ELYXYB can be taken with or without food. , patients with moderate hepatic impairment, who are CYP2C9 poor metabolizers or taking concomitant CYP2C9 inhibitors): Patients must use an oral dosing syringe to precisely measure the prescribed amount of ELYXYB.
1 Clinical Trials by Indication). The most common (at least 1% of patients who received ELYXYB and greater than placebo) adverse reaction in Phase 3 studies were dysgeusia and nausea. 2 Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions Clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions.
The adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials therefore, may not reflect the rates observed in practice and should not be compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug. Adverse reaction information from clinical trials may be ELYXYB (celecoxib oral solution) Page 18 of 51 useful for identifying and approximating rates of adverse drug reactions in real-world use.
Table 1 lists all adverse events, regardless of causality, occurring in ≥ 1% of patients receiving a single dose of ELYXYB in these studies and that occurred at a higher incidence than in the placebo groups. 4 Abnormal Laboratory Findings: Hematologic, Clinical Chemistry and Other Quantitative Data Clinical Trial Findings No clinically meaningful hematologic, clinical chemistry or urinalysis findings were identified for any clinical studies of ELYXYB.
In clinical trials with celecoxib capsules, an increased incidence of hyperchloremia in patients receiving celecoxib compared with patients on placebo was observed. Other laboratory abnormalities that occurred more frequently in the patients receiving celecoxib included hypophosphatemia, and elevated urea.
These laboratory abnormalities were also seen in patients who received comparator NSAIDs in these studies. The clinical significance of these abnormalities has not been established. 5 Post-Market Adverse Reactions Additional reports of serious adverse events temporally associated with celecoxib during worldwide post-marketing experience are included below.
Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or clearly establish a causal relationship to celecoxib exposure.

3 Pediatrics). 4 Geriatrics). 2 CONTRAINDICATIONS ELYXYB is contraindicated in: • The perioperative pain setting of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. Although ELYXYB has NOT been studied in this patient population, a selective COX-2 inhibitor NSAID studied in such a setting has led to an increased incidence of cardiovascular/thromboembolic events, deep surgical infections and sternal wound complications (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Cardiovascular).
• The third trimester of pregnancy, because of risk of premature closure of the ductus arteriosus and prolonged parturition. • Women who are breastfeeding, because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants. • Severe uncontrolled heart failure.
• Patients who are hypersensitive to this drug or to any ingredient in the formulation, including any non-medicinal ingredient, or component of the container. For a complete listing, see 6 DOSAGE FORMS, STRENGTHS, COMPOSITION AND PACKAGING.

Fatal anaphylactoid reactions have occurred in such individuals. Individuals with the above medical problems are at risk of a severe reaction even if they have taken NSAIDs in the past without any adverse reaction. The potential for cross-reactivity between different NSAIDs must be kept in mind (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Immune, Anaphylactoid Reactions).

Blood and lymphatic system disorders:
Agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, pancytopenia, leucopenia. Serious bleeding events (some of them fatal) have been reported, predominantly in the elderly, in association with increases in prothrombin time in patients receiving CELEBREX concurrently with warfarin or similar agents (see
• Active gastric / duodenal / peptic ulcer, active gastrointestinal bleeding. • Cerebrovascular bleedings. • Inflammatory bowel disease. • Severe liver impairment or active liver disease. 5 mL/sec) or deteriorating renal disease (individuals with lesser degrees of renal impairment are at risk of deterioration of their renal function when prescribed NSAIDs and must be monitored) (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Renal).
• Known hyperkalemia (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Renal, Fluid and Electrolyte Balance). • Children and adolescents less than 18 years of age. 3 SERIOUS WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS BOX Serious Warnings and Precautions • Risk of Cardiovascular (CV) Adverse Events: Ischemic Heart Disease, Cerebrovascular Disease, Congestive Heart Failure (NYHA II-IV): Celecoxib, particularly at doses higher than 200 mg per day, is associated with an increased incidence of serious CV thrombotic events (such as myocardial infarction and stroke), which can be fatal.
This increased risk is comparable to that with high doses of diclofenac (≥ 150 mg per day) or ibuprofen (≥ 2400 mg per day). Doses of celecoxib > 200 mg/day should NOT be used in patients with ischemic heart disease (including but not limited to acute myocardial infarction, history of myocardial infarction and/or angina), cerebrovascular disease (including but not limited to stroke, cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attacks and/or amaurosis fugax), congestive heart failure (NYHA II-IV), and/or risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
A meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials comparing several different NSAIDs, concluded that celecoxib is associated with higher cardiovascular risk when compared with placebo. Large population-based observational studies also support these findings.
An increased risk of CV thrombotic events may occur early in the treatment and become higher with the duration of treatment. Patients with CV disease or risk factors for CV disease may be at greater risk (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Cardiovascular).
To minimize the potential for an adverse cardiovascular event, use ELYXYB for the fewest number of days per month as needed, based on individual treatment goals. For patients with a high risk of developing an ELYXYB (celecoxib oral solution) Page 6 of 51 adverse cardiovascular event, other management strategies that do NOT include NSAIDs should be considered first.
Use of NSAIDs, such as ELYXYB, can promote sodium retention in a dose-dependent manner, through a renal mechanism, which can result in increased blood pressure and/or exacerbation of congestive heart failure. See also 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Renal, Fluid and Electrolyte Balance Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery: ELYXYB is contraindicated in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (see 2 CONTRAINDICATIONS; 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Cardiovascular).
• Risk of Gastrointestinal (GI) Adverse Events: Use of NSAIDs, such as ELYXYB, is associated with an increased incidence of GI adverse events such as peptic/duodenal ulceration, perforation, obstruction and gastrointestinal bleeding.
