Product details of Celebrex 100mg
Celebrex 100mg is a prescription anti-inflammatory medicine containing Celecoxib. It is used to treat pain, inflammation, and stiffness caused by arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Celebrex works by selectively inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme, helping relieve pain while reducing the risk of stomach irritation compared to traditional NSAIDs.
Celebrex 100mg can selectively block the action of an enzyme called COX-2 (COX: cyclooxygenase) and suppress the production of substances involved in inflammation, thus blocking pain from the beginning.
