Celebrex Information:
Celebrex (generic name: Celecoxib) is an approved drug which is prescribed for relief of inflammation. It belongs to the group of drugs called NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs) and is known as COX-2 inhibitor. It works by reducing the hormones that cause inflammation, and pain associated with inflammation which may be caused by several conditions including menstrual pain and arthritis. Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease with symptoms of pain in the joints caused by inflammation. Celebrex is also used for treating hereditary polyps in the colon, which are growths found on the surface of the colon, also known as the large intestine. Some types of polyps can be or become cancerous, but others are benign (not cancerous). It works by blocking the enzymes in the body that are responsible for making prostaglandins. Reducing the prostaglandins helps to reduce pain and inflammation or swelling.
