“…Celecoxib, a specific cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, is used clinically to relieve arthritic pain and to treat familial adenomatous polyposis [10]. Unrelated to its effect on COX-2, celecoxib has been found to alter the preferred position of ethynylestradiol and 17β-E2 sulfonation from the 3- to the 17- hydroxy group and to increase total sulfonation in a concentration-dependent manner with SULT2A1 [11, 12].…”

“…In 2000, the FDA approved celecoxib under subpart H (accelerated approval) as adjunctive treatment for FAP. A subsequent study of children with FAP found that celecoxib at a dosage of 16 mg/kg per day for 3 months was well tolerated and reduced the number of colorectal polyps by 44% (18 ). This finding underscores the power of using familial, high-risk cohorts.…”
