How does CELEBREX work?

How does CELEBREX work?

CELEBREX is a COX-2 selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking a protein called cyclooxygenase-2 (or COX-2) that’s involved in causing pain and swelling. By blocking COX-2, this medication eases pain and swelling. In contrast to most other NSAIDs, CELEBREX doesn’t affect the COX-1 proteins protecting your stomach and gut. Blocking COX-2 rather than COX-1 is thought to explain why CELEBREX generally has a lower risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers.
