  "It's very much a dose-related phenomenon," said Dr. Gerald Falasca, a rheumatologist with Cooper University Hospital in Camden, about Celebrex and Bextra.
  
  So far, he said, studies show no risks associated with lower doses of either drug - 200 milligrams of Celebrex a day or 10 milligrams of Bextra a day.Heart problems are a risk for people who take 40 to 80 milligrams of Bextra daily and those who take 400 milligrams of Celebrex a day, he said.
  
  Cox-2 inhibitors are most commonly prescribed for arthritis pain.The most commonly prescribed dosage is two 200-milligram pills a day.
  
  They are no more effective than other painkillers such as aspirin or Tylenol, but are more popular, Falasca said."The reason they have been so popular is they had a lower risk of stomach ulcers," he said.

  That's why testing is so important," said Gerald F. Falasca, MD, Head of Rheumatology at Cooper. Dr. Falasca is also a Top Doc [South Jersey Magazine] and an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
  
  Cooper rheumatologists assess the risk for osteoporosis through a special x-ray called dual energy x-ray absorptiometry [DEXA] that's simple, painless, and quick.
  
  "Every woman should have a DEXA scan at menopause, some before that. By detecting osteoporosis early, appropriate lifestyle changes can be made, and medication can be prescribed, when appropriate, to help prevent fractures," said Dr. Falasca.
  
  Dr. Falasca and Cooper's other rheumatologists counsel patients on nutrition, exercise, and other lifestyle issues to prevent osteoporosis or slow its progress.
