Generic Celebrex
Chemical Name: CELECOXIB
Common uses
This medicine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug
(NSAID) known as a COX-2 inhibitor. It is used to relieve
pain and swelling (inflammation). It is used to treat arthritis,
acute pain, and menstrual pain and discomfort. Celecoxib
is also used to decrease growths found in the intestines
(colon polyps) in persons with a family history of this
condition. This drug works by blocking the enzyme in your
body that makes prostaglandins. Decreasing prostaglandins
helps to reduce pain and swelling.
