Can I take Adderall and Celecoxib together?

Why this happens

Adderall (amphetamine salts) naturally increases blood pressure and heart rate. Celecoxib (an NSAID) can cause the body to retain fluid and affect kidney function, which also raises blood pressure, leading to an additive effect. Furthermore, celecoxib may mildly interfere with the enzymes (CYP2D6) that break down Adderall, causing it to stay in your system longer.

Use this combination with caution. If you have a history of high blood pressure or heart problems, speak to your doctor before taking them together. Monitor your blood pressure regularly and report any symptoms like chest pain, severe headaches, or palpitations to your healthcare provider.
