Celebrex is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis. The drug is a COX-2 selective inhibitor and is marketed under the brand name Celecoxib.
Celebrex is prescribed to patients suffering from arthritis, Ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and hereditary polyps. It can also be used for pain relief in patients suffering from menstrual pain and discomfort.
Before you learn how this medication works, it is important to know what causes inflammation and pain. An enzyme called cyclooxygenase-2 facilitates chemical reactions in the body which lead to pain. Celebrex blocks this enzyme to help reduce pain.
Older adults may be more sensitive to the effects of Celebrex. It is important that you drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated while taking Celebrex. Also, avoid the daily use of alcohol or tobacco as they may increase the risk of stomach bleeding.
Though the chance of developing a possibly fatal liver disease with Celebrex is rare, it is still possible. If you experience any symptoms of liver damage, see your doctor immediately. The symptoms may include dark urine, nausea, severe stomach and abdominal pain, yellowing of the eyes and skin. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, you must get medical help immediately.
