Celecoxib: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More

Celecoxib is a prescription COX-2 inhibitor NSAID used to relieve pain and inflammation from arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, menstrual pain, and acute injuries. By reducing prostaglandin production it helps manage chronic joint and muscle discomfort while potentially causing fewer stomach side effects than traditional NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen.
