Why is Celebrex prescribed?

Celebrex, with generic name Celecoxib, is used to manage pain, swelling, stiffness, and tenderness associated with different types of arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) both in adults and children 2 years old and older. It is also used to relieve pain associated with dysmenorrhea, injuries, surgery, and other medical or dental procedures.

What does it do?

Celecoxib belongs to a class of medications called COX-2 inhibitors, which prevents the production of the substance responsible for pain and inflammation.

How should I take it?

Celebrex is currently available as 50mg, 100mg, 200mg, and 400mg capsules taken whole (not opened, chewed, or crushed) by mouth with food.

The dosage strength and frequency depend on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only take this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if taken properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, take it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never take two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Celebrex?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking. Discuss your current and previous medical history and any allergic reactions to Celebrex, aspirin, or other NSAIDs (Advil, Motrin) and Naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), sulfa medications, or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.

Inform your doctor if you had any form of surgery or if you are planning to get one.
