Celebrex is a COX-2 inhibitor and associated with less bleeding risk and ulcer formation when comparing to the other NSAIDS. My MD said it is fine to take with prednisone.

Okay, your doctor knows your specific health issues. I've been told not to touch any NSAID especially while on prednisone, because of the higher risk of gastro-intestinal bleeding and damage. COX-2 inhibitors are also associated with adverse heart events, (moreso than COX-1 which are not as effective for joint/muscle inflammation). Another no-no for me.
