Celebrex is a drug in the group classified as non-steroidal anti-inflamitory drugs (NSAID's).  It is used to treat pain and inflammation due to arthritis, menstrual pain and other causes.  It has also been used to treat polyps of the colon.

Celebrex, also known as celecexib, reduces hormones in the body that cause pain and inflammation.  Celebrex is related to another anti-inflammatory drug, Bextra, that was taken off the market in 2005 due to concerns that it was involved with causing serious cardiovascular problems.

Users of Celebrex should seek emergency medical aid if symptoms of cardiovascular distress appear such as chest pain, slurred speech, problems with vision or balance, weakness or shortness of breath.
