September 14th 2005A 63-year-old man was given oral celecoxib, 100 mg bid, for shoulder pain. Three days later, a pruritic rash appeared on his back, then spread to the chest, lower legs, and face. He stopped the celecoxib on his own and self-administered diphenhydramine for the pruritus. The rash and itch persisted, which prompted the patient to seek medical care. He had no respiratory symptoms.
