celecoxib
Celecoxib, also known by the brand name Celebrex, is a prescription pain medication that's used to temporarily relieve aches and pains from certain conditions, such as different types of arthritis. Celebrex (celecoxib) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), but it has a lower risk of causing stomach upset than other medications in its drug class, such as naproxen. The dosage for Celebrex (celecoxib) is typically once or twice a day. It's recommended to avoid taking this medication with alcohol since it can raise your risk for stomach bleeding. Other side effects include headache, indigestion, and diarrhea.

How Celebrex (celecoxib) works
Celebrex (celecoxib) is a COX-2 selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking a protein called cyclooxygenase-2 (or COX-2) that's involved in causing pain and swelling. By blocking COX-2, this medication eases pain and swelling.
In contrast to most other NSAIDs, Celebrex (celecoxib) doesn't affect the COX-1 proteins protecting your stomach and gut. Blocking COX-2 rather than COX-1 is thought to explain why Celebrex (celecoxib) generally has a lower risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers.

Pharmacist tips for Celebrex (celecoxib)
- You can take Celebrex (celecoxib) with or without food. But since Celebrex (celecoxib) can be hard on your stomach, taking it with food can lower your risk of having belly pain, stomach irritation, and stomach bleeding.
- If you have trouble swallowing pills or if you're giving this medication to a child, you can open the Celebrex (celecoxib) capsule and sprinkle the contents onto cool or room-temperature applesauce. Once the medication is sprinkled on top, swallow the applesauce right away along with some water. You can keep the mixture in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours if you need to.
- Don't take Celebrex (celecoxib) with other NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or aspirin, without asking your provider first. Doing so can raise your risk for stomach bleeds. NSAIDs are found in many over-the-counter pain, fever, and cold medications. Ask your provider or pharmacist if you're not sure whether you're already taking an NSAID.
- Let your provider or pharmacist know what medications you're taking, including over-the-counter products and supplements, before you start Celebrex (celecoxib) and while you're taking this pain reliever. They can help you screen for dangerous drug interactions and make changes to your medications so that they're safe for you to take.
- There's a chance you could be allergic to Celebrex (celecoxib) if you're allergic to aspirin or sulfa drugs. Always discuss all allergies with your providers and pharmacists before starting any new medications.
Common questions about Celebrex (celecoxib)
No, Celebrex (celecoxib) hasn't been banned or discontinued since its approval. Similar medications — Vioxx (rofecoxib) and Bextra (valdecoxib) — were withdrawn from the market because there were concerns about having a higher risk of heart attack and stroke in people who took these medications. But in a large clinical study, people with OA or RA who took Celebrex (celecoxib) had the same risk of having a heart attack or stroke as people who took prescription-strength ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen. Keep in mind that all NSAIDs have boxed warnings for higher risk of heart attacks and stroke. Always take Celebrex (celecoxib) for the shortest amount of time at the lowest dose possible to treat your pain.
Celebrex (celecoxib) isn't a narcotic painkiller. Narcotics typically refer to opioid pain medications). Instead, Celebrex (celecoxib) is a medication belonging to the drug class called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Unlike opioid medications that work in your brain to lower how much pain you feel, NSAIDs block certain proteins involved in causing inflammation and pain.
Yes, celecoxib is the lower-cost generic formulation of brand-name Celebrex. They're both available by prescription from your provider only. Don't take celecoxib and Celebrex at the same time since it can cause an accidental overdose, which can lead to stomach side effects, drowsiness, tiredness, confusion, and rare but serious stomach damage.
You can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) with Celebrex (celecoxib), but discuss with your provider first before taking any additional pain medications to make sure the combination best fits your needs. Celebrex (celecoxib) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) work differently to lower pain in your body. But keep in mind that while acetaminophen (Tylenol) can relieve pain, it doesn't lower swelling caused by arthritis. In fact, studies show that acetaminophen (Tylenol) doesn't work any better than placebo in treating hip or knee pain caused by osteoarthritis.
No, you shouldn't take Celebrex (celecoxib) with ibuprofen (Advil). Both medications are NSAIDs — they work similarly to treat pain and aches and have similar safety warnings. Taking these medications together can put you at higher risk for side effects, such as stomach bleeds and ulcers. If Celebrex (celecoxib) or ibuprofen (Advil) alone isn't enough to treat your pain, discuss with your provider about other options for you.
Some people who take Celebrex (celecoxib) have reported weight gain, but it isn't a common side effect of this medication. If you find yourself gaining weight while taking Celebrex (celecoxib), talk with your provider. They can examine you and discuss with you about possible other causes of your weight gain. In some cases, sudden weight gain can be a symptom of fluid buildup in the body and heart failure. Let your provider know right away if you notice any changes in your blood pressure or experience symptoms, such as trouble breathing, swelling, and tiredness, in addition to weight gain.
It's best to avoid or limit drinking alcohol if you're taking Celebrex (celecoxib). In general, alcohol and NSAIDs both carry a risk of stomach bleeding and ulcer. Drinking alcohol while you're taking an NSAID like Celebrex (celecoxib) can raise those risks. In addition, drinking too much alcohol while you're taking Celebrex (celecoxib) can raise the risk of having kidney problems, liver damage, or heart problems, which can be dangerous. Ask your provider about your drinking habits while you're taking Celebrex (celecoxib), especially if you drink alcohol regularly.

Risks and warnings for Celebrex (celecoxib)
Celebrex (celecoxib) can cause some serious health issues. This risk may be even higher for certain groups. If this worries you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.
Heart attack and stroke
- Risk factors: History of heart problems | Heart bypass surgery in the last 2 weeks | Planned heart bypass surgery | Taking Celebrex (celecoxib) for a long time
Celebrex (celecoxib) can raise your risk of having blood clots, heart attack, and stroke. If you have heart problems, talk to your provider before starting this medication. To lower your risk, take Celebrex (celecoxib) at the lowest dose and for the shortest amount of time possible. Don't take Celebrex (celecoxib) if you've recently had or will be having heart surgery. Call 911 if you experience chest pain, trouble breathing, weakness on one side of your body, or trouble speaking or walking.
Stomach bleeding and ulcers
- Risk factors: Older adults | History of stomach bleeding or ulcers | Bleeding problems | Liver problems | Taking other medications that raise your risk for bleeds | Drinking alcohol | Smoking | Having poor health | Taking Celebrex (celecoxib) for a long time
Celebrex (celecoxib) can raise your risk for serious stomach or gut problems, including bleeding and ulcers. In some cases, this can be life-threatening. Serious stomach or gut problems can occur with or without warning or symptoms while you're taking Celebrex (celecoxib). Your risk for stomach bleeds might be even higher if you're also taking other medications, such as oral corticosteroids and blood thinners (anticoagulants). Make sure your provider is aware of all of your medical conditions and medications before starting Celebrex (celecoxib) so they can discuss with you about your risk for stomach or gut bleeds. Get medical help right away if you have severe stomach pain, black and tarry stools, or blood in the urine while using Celebrex (celecoxib).
Liver problems
- Risk factors: History of liver damage
Though rare, Celebrex (celecoxib) can cause liver problems. Rarely, these problems can lead to liver failure. Liver damage can happen with or without symptoms, so it's best to use the lowest possible dose of Celebrex (celecoxib) for the shortest possible time to lower your risk. Stop Celebrex (celecoxib) and talk to your provider right away if you experience symptoms of liver problems, such as fever, chills, fatigue, nausea, pain on the right side of the stomach, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, clay-colored stool, or dark urine.
High blood pressure and heart failure
- Risk factors: High blood pressure | Heart failure
Celebrex (celecoxib) can raise your blood pressure or cause swelling in the arms or legs. It can also put you at risk for heart failure or hospitalization from heart failure complications. This is because the medication can cause your body to hold onto extra fluid. Let your provider know if you have any heart problems (especially heart failure) or if you're taking blood pressure medications so they can make sure Celebrex (celecoxib) is safe for you.
Check your blood pressure regularly while you're taking Celebrex (celecoxib), and let your provider know if you notice any changes. Also contact your provider if you experience trouble breathing, tiredness, swelling in your body, or sudden weight gain as these can be symptoms of heart failure.
Kidney damage and high potassium levels
- Risk factors: Older adults | Kidney or liver problems | Heart failure | Taking certain blood pressure medications (e.g., water pills, ACE inhibitors, ARBs) | Loss of body fluid through conditions such as severe vomiting, bleeding, or diarrhea | Using Celebrex (celecoxib) for a long time
Celebrex (celecoxib) can damage your kidneys by slowing down blood flow to the kidneys. The risk is higher if you're taking certain blood pressure medications (like ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or water pills). Your risk might also be higher if you have certain medical conditions, such as kidney problems, liver problems, and heart failure. Kidney damage is usually reversible once you stop taking Celebrex (celecoxib). Tell your provider if you notice a change in how often you urinate after starting this medication since this can be a sign of kidney damage.
In addition, kidney damage from Celebrex (celecoxib) can lead to high potassium levels. Sometimes, this medication can cause high potassium levels even in people with healthy kidneys. Call your provider right away if you experience symptoms of high potassium levels, such as nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, or tingling in your limbs because it can lead to dangerous health problems.
Severe allergic reactions
- Risk factors: Sulfa allergy
It's possible to have a severe allergic reaction to Celebrex (celecoxib). These can include life-threatening reactions like anaphylaxis (closing of the throat). In addition, your risk of having an allergic reaction to Celebrex (celecoxib) might be higher if you have a sulfa allergy because this medication is considered a sulfa drug. Before starting Celebrex (celecoxib), let your provider know if you have an allergy to sulfa drugs, aspirin, or other NSAIDs. Get medical help right away if you notice hives, rash, swelling of the lips or tongue, or trouble breathing after you use Celebrex (celecoxib).
Though rare, Celebrex (celecoxib) can also cause serious skin reactions. Stop using the medication and get medical attention right away if you have rash, peeling skin, or painful blisters all over your body. These skin reactions sometimes happen with fever, body aches, and swelling of the face.
Severe asthma attack
- Risk factors: Asthma | Stuffy nose with or without nasal polyps | History of allergic reaction to aspirin or other NSAIDs
Celebrex (celecoxib) can cause your airways to tighten, which can lead to severe asthma attacks. Because of this risk, be careful using Celebrex (celecoxib) if you have asthma. Severe asthma attacks might be more likely to happen if you have asthma or asthma attacks after taking aspirin or other NSAID in the past. Get medical help right away if your throat tightens and you can't breathe.
Harm to unborn babies
- Risk factor: Currently in second or third trimester of pregnancy
Celebrex (celecoxib) can cause harm to your unborn baby if it's taken after 20 weeks of pregnancy. It can cause serious complications, such as heart or kidney problems in your unborn baby. Speak to your provider about the risks and benefits of Celebrex (celecoxib) if you're pregnant. Ask whether there are safer alternatives.
