Use
Celecoxib or Celebrex is used to reduce pain and inflammation.
How It Works
Celecoxib or Celebrex is a COX-2 specific inhibitor. Cyclo oxygenase compounds are found throughout
the body - for example, in the nervous system and stomach. COX-2 is a type of cyclo oxygenase that
produces prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation. COX-1 is a type of cyclo oxygenase that is
found in the stomach that helps protect the stomach lining. Thus, being specific for COX-2, Celecoxib
or Celebrex reduces pain and inflammation with little stomach irritation.
Side Effects
Celecoxib or Celebrex is generally well tolerated. It has a lower incidence of stomach side effects -
irritation, ulcers, and even bleeding - than other anti inflammatory drugs.
Precautions
People who have a sensitivity to other anti inflammatory drugs may be able to tolerate Celecoxib or
Celebrex, however they should use it with caution.
Any of the following may be reason to choose a different drug. Inform your doctor before starting therapy.
- Allergic to celecoxib
- Allergic to sulfa drugs
- Asthma, urticaria, or allergic type reactions with aspirin or other NSAIDs
- Third trimester of pregnancy
- Severe liver function impairment
For further information view the dosage and administration section.
Drug Interactions
While Celecoxib or Celebrex does have a lower incidence of stomach adverse effects, care must be
taken when combining it with other drugs, most notably other anti inflammatory drugs, because stomach
irritation may result.
