Celebrex

About Celebrex

  • NSAID used to relieve pain and inflammation 
  • Contains celecoxib, a COX-2 inhibitor 
  • Dose depends on the condition treated 
  • Not suitable in pregnancy or with stomach ulcer 
  • May cause headache or abdominal pain 

Celebrex is a medicine belonging to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis (Bechterew’s disease). It may also be prescribed for acute pain and period pain. 

The active substance, celecoxib, works by blocking an enzyme involved in inflammation. By reducing this process, pain and swelling may decrease. Compared with some other NSAIDs, it has less effect on the stomach lining, which may lower the risk of stomach discomfort. 

As with all medicines, the effect can vary from person to person. Your doctor will decide whether this treatment is appropriate for you based on your symptoms and medical history. 

Dosage and usage

Always take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. 

The usual doses are: 

  • Osteoarthritis: 200 mg daily, taken as one or two doses 
  • Rheumatoid arthritis: 100–200 mg twice daily 
  • Ankylosing spondylitis: 200 mg daily, as one or two doses 

Swallow the capsules whole with water, preferably during or after a meal. Do not exceed the prescribed dose. 

If you take more than prescribed, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately. 
If you forget a dose, skip the missed dose and take the next one at the usual time. Do not take a double dose. 
Only stop treatment after consulting your doctor, especially if used long term.
