Celecoxib is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) used to treat pain, particularly pain caused by arthritis. It is similar in both function and side effects to other NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, paracetamol, or aspirin, though it is generally more powerful at lower doses.

This medication is more commonly known by the brand names Celebrex, Celebra, or Onsenal. In some parts of the world it is possible to buy celecoxib in generic form, but many areas still require a prescription. Clients who buy celecoxib from Kiwi Drug are responsible for understanding and complying with any local laws.

Managing Pain with Celecoxib

Like other NSAIDs, celecoxib works by reducing inflammation, which in turn reduces the unpleasant symptoms associated with it, including pain, swelling, fever and tenderness.

Treatment with this product is effective in a number of conditions:

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
• Ankylosing Spondylitis
• Severe menstrual pain
• Acute pain
• Familial adenomatous polyposis

Usually treatment is relatively long term, spanning at least several months, though in some cases it may last only days or weeks. It is also sometimes taken sporadically as-needed.

Celecoxib is easy to take:

• The medication may be taken with or without food.
• Capsules may be opened and the contents sprinkled on food or in a drink if desired.
• Taking with food may ease stomach upset.
• If taking as-needed, it should be taken at the earliest signs of pain.

Dosage strength depends on the condition being treated, though it may vary in individual circumstances:

• Osteoarthritis - 200 mg a day, taken all at once or split into two doses.
• Rheumatoid arthritis - 200 to 400 mg per day, split into two doses of 100 or 200 mg.
• Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis - 100 to 200 mg per day, split into two doses of 50 or 100 mg.
• Ankylosing Spondylitis - 200 mg per day, taken all at once or split into two doses. If ineffective, dosage may be increased to 400 mg daily.
• Familial adenomatous polyposis - 800 mg per day, split into two 400 mg doses.
• Menstrual pain or Acute pain - 400 mg in a single dose on the first day, an additional 200 mg several hours later if needed. 400 mg per day on following days, but may be split into two 200 mg doses.
• As-needed - usually 200 to 400 mg per day; sometimes 400 mg twice per day for a total of 800 mg.

The drug reaches maximum effectiveness about 3 hours after being taken. Wait 4 to 6 hours before taking a second dose. Many arthritis patients find a single daily dose of 200 mg or more provides pain relief for 24 hours.

Before Starting Treatment

Some preexisting conditions put patients at a greater risk of experiencing serious side effects, particularly when there is a history of:

• High blood pressure
• Heart attack or stroke
• Liver or kidney disease
• Asthma
• Ulcers or bleeding in the stomach
• Allergic reactions to sulfa or other NSAIDs
• Epilepsy
• A blood clotting or bleeding condition

Celecoxib may harm unborn or nursing babies.

The medication may interact with a number of other drugs, exacerbating side effects or reducing effectiveness; speak with a doctor or pharmacist before mixing treatments.
