CELEBREX® (Celecoxib) 200 mg – 30 Capsules/Tablets

Celebrex® contains celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor belonging to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class. It is used to relieve pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with various musculoskeletal and arthritic conditions while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects compared with traditional NSAIDs.
