What is Celebrex?

Celebrex is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID) that is used to reduce pain, swelling, and soreness.

Celebrex is a medicine for:

  • relief of osteoarthritis
  • relief of rheumatoid arthritis in adults
  • management of acute pain in adults
  • treatment of menstrual pain
  • reduce the number of colon and rectum growths in patients with a disease called Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP).

People using Celebrex will probably increase their chance of having serious heart problems or a heart attack.

  • have had an allergic-type reaction to sulfa medicines
  • have had asthma, hives or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAID medicines
  • are allergic to Celebrex or to any of the ingredients in Celebrex
