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.
