The Food and Drug Administration announced Monday that it has placed a cap on prescription medications for the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, a joint disease caused by the disease. The move is a move to prevent more prescriptions from going up in price.
The FDA has ordered the drug Advil and Celebrex, which contain the arthritis pain reliever Celebrex, to be filled at a discount price. The discount price, however, would be at the $7.99 per month, or one-quarter, of the cost of a year supply.
The move follows a recent in December where the FDA announced a ban on the sale of prescription drugs that contain the arthritis drug Bextra, which is used to treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The FDA is also advising consumers that they should not be put on any medication that contains a substance that blocks the action of the enzyme that breaks down hormones in the body.
Advil, Bextra, and Celebrex are used to treat pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Celebrex is also used to treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and provides pain relief.
The agency said it is also working to address the increased demand for Celebrex because of the increased cost of Celebrex.

S. and Australia in an open label trial. The FDA has said it is in the final stages of testing the drug.
The company said that in the first-quarter results of the trial that compared Celebrex to a generic version of Celebrex (celecoxib) in the U. S., it found that Celebrex had a higher rate of safety compared to the generic version.
Pfizer, the world's largest drug maker, is in the process of filing patents for the first generic version of Celebrex, the blockbuster painkiller that millions of Americans rely on to fight arthritis and other chronic illnesses such as cancer and heart disease. The patent has also triggered a wave of generic competition to Pfizer for Celebrex, leading to a surge in prices.
The first-quarter results of the trial indicated that the drug was not associated with any increased adverse events related to Celebrex and the results showed no increased adverse events compared to Celebrex and the generic version.
The trial's results were not expected to impact Pfizer, but analysts said that while the company is not in the final stage of testing the drug will eventually be available for patients in the U. and Australia.
Celebrex, the generic version of Celebrex, is the only painkiller approved by the FDA for the treatment of osteoarthritis, a common condition in which people with arthritis have a weakened immune system and are at a higher risk of developing cancer. In the first-quarter results of the trial, the company said it was not linked to any increased risk of heart attack and stroke compared to the generic version.
The company said the results showed that patients who took the drugs had a lower risk of developing breast cancer compared to those who did not take them, but the study did not provide information on the level of risk that patients were at.
Celebrex was originally developed by Pfizer for the treatment of osteoarthritis, but the company has now found that Celebrex can lead to an increased risk of breast cancer.

Pfizer said it will continue to manufacture Celebrex, but it will not begin selling the drug until the company's patent expires in 2016.
