Celebrex (Generic) - India

Buy Celebrex Generic Online

Celebrex (active Ingredients is Celecoxib) is used to relieve the pain, tenderness, inflammation (swelling), and stiffness caused by arthritis. Celebrex works specifically on an enzyme called COX-2. While traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen inhibit the COX-2 enzyme and help to relieve pain and inflammation, they also inhibit the COX-1 enzyme and thus can cause gastrointestinal side effects like ulcers. Celebrex has been reported to be effective in the treatment of Osteoarthritis as well.

COX-2 inhibitors like Celebrex have specific action on the COX-2 enzyme to decrease pain and inflammation, but have less action on the COX-1 enzyme and thus are associated with a lower occurrence of gastrointestinal side effects. Celebrex is NOT available generically.

Only Celebrex has FDA approval for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
