hi Diana Thanks for choosing hcm
I understand your concern
In clinical studies/trials just under 2% of users experienced a gain in weight. so you can safely start taking celecoxib and monitor your weight daily for 1 week and in you find an increase of 4pounds in one week the do consider changing your drug to other painkiller medicines.
I hope i answered your querry and if you are satisfied dont forget to give five stars. :) get well soon diana
