9 reviews for Celecoxib (Celebrex)
Celebrex contains Celecoxib.
Celecoxib is an anti-inflammatory painkiller from a group called COX-2 inhibitors. It relieves pain, swelling and stiffness in arthritis with less stomach irritation than older painkillers.
What is it used for?
- Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Period pain and short-term pain
How does it work?
Celecoxib blocks COX-2, the enzyme that makes pain and swelling chemicals, while mostly sparing COX-1 which protects the stomach.
This information is written in simple words to help you understand this product. It does not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Read these points before you start. If any of them apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
- Do not take it if you have ever had a stomach ulcer or bleeding, or if you are allergic to aspirin or other anti-inflammatory painkillers (for example, if they made your asthma worse).
- Do not take it if you have severe heart failure, severe kidney or liver disease, or in the last 3 months of pregnancy.
- Anti-inflammatory painkillers can slightly raise the risk of heart attack and stroke, especially at high doses or with long use. Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or smoke.
- Do not take it with other anti-inflammatory painkillers (such as ibuprofen, naproxen or high-dose aspirin).

Like all medicines, Celebrex can cause side effects, but not everybody gets them.
Common side effects
- Indigestion, heartburn or stomach pain
- Feeling sick
- Diarrhoea or constipation

These are usually mild and often get better as your body gets used to it. Tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
Stop using it and get medical help straight away if you notice:
- Black, tarry stools, or vomiting blood or what looks like coffee grounds (stomach bleeding)
- Chest pain, or sudden weakness, numbness or trouble speaking
- Wheezing or trouble breathing
- Swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a severe rash with blisters
- Passing much less urine, or swelling of the legs
This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Take it once or twice a day, with or without food.
- A common adult dose for arthritis is 200 mg a day (once or split into two doses).
- Swallow the capsule with water.
- Use the lowest dose for the shortest time.
If you miss a dose: If you take it regularly, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Never take two doses at once.
If you use too much: Contact your doctor, a poison control centre or your local emergency number straight away, even if you feel fine. Take the pack with you.
