Celecoxib
COX-2 selective NSAID for arthritis and chronic pain
Celecoxib (Celebrex) is an NSAID that targets the COX-2 enzyme. It is often chosen when stomach side effects on a regular NSAID have been a problem. Like all NSAIDs it can affect blood pressure, kidneys, and heart risk.
How the pharmacy helps
We dispense 100 mg and 200 mg capsules. Patients on Celecoxib are typically followed for blood pressure and kidney function.

For many patients, yes — but stomach side effects can still happen.
Celecoxib can be chosen when stomach side effects, ulcer history, or anticoagulant use make a regular NSAID less suitable.
Like other NSAIDs, Celecoxib can raise cardiovascular risk somewhat, especially at higher doses or longer courses.
