Celecoxib is a medication that is utilized to alleviate symptoms such as pain, tenderness, swelling, and stiffness that result from various types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It is also prescribed for the treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in children aged 2 and above, as well as for the management of painful menstrual periods and other short-term pain conditions caused by injuries, medical or dental procedures, or medical conditions that are limited in duration. Celecoxib is classified as a COX-2 inhibitor, which is a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that operates by inhibiting the production of a substance responsible for pain and inflammation in the body.
