Celebrex

Celebrex, also known as Celecoxib, belongs to the family of medications called lective COX-2 inhibitor nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and is used for relieving symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis in adults. Celebrex does this by reducing inflammation and swelling. Celebrex is further used to reduce pain suffered from surgery, sprains, tooth extractions and other pain such as acute pain, menstrual discomfort, pain or cramping, discomfort and inflammation or stiffness. There have also been instances of the medication reducing colorectal polyps or growths in the rectum or lower intestinal wall.
