Celecoxib (sold under names such as Celebrex) is a prescription COX-2 inhibitor NSAID used to relieve pain and inflammation related to arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis), ankylosing spondylitis, menstrual pain and acute pain. It works by blocking the substances responsible for pain and inflammation. Available as capsules and as an oral solution, it is taken by mouth, swallowed whole (or with applesauce), and is metabolized by the liver. Important warnings include an increased risk of heart attack/stroke, serious skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis) and gastrointestinal bleeding, especially in people with existing heart or stomach problems, or an allergy to sulfonamides.
