Celebrex is still available as an anti-inflammatory. As to its efficacy as an adhesion inhibitor, that's most likely not true. Try an internet search on "Medical Madoff" - sadly you'll find info about a Doctor who faked research data in 21 studies, Celebrex was among the drugs involved.

I do not know if the adhesion study was one of those faked, however this particular doctor did author a paper on Celebrex and adhesions in mice...

Very disheartening and a horrible slap to all those who ARE working so very hard to help us who suffer from this horrible affliction.
