Ed,
The US version isn't scored, but it is a simple tablet though it might be coated. I'll call the pharmacy later, but I'm thinking I'll try to take half a Mobic with dinner and see how that works. Yesterday I skipped it altogther. It was really helping the pain--so much my mood even improved!I think one reason the doc was a bit hesitant on the celebrex is I "may" have a sulfa (sp?) allergy. I was able to take the Bextra and know it is a metabolite of the Celebrex, but not sure if Celebrex would have something in it Bextra didn't that my poor old body might not like. :-)
