What is Celebrex (Celecoxib)?
Celebrex is the brand name of the effective anti-inflammatory drug Celecoxib used to treat pain and inflammation for a number of conditions.
Celebrex is a type of Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID), specifically a COX-2 Inhibitor which is used to relieve pain and inflammation for a number of conditions. Celebrex works by stopping the production of a natural substance to the body COX-2, which is responsible for pain and inflammation. Celebrex is commonly prescribed for Arthritis, period pains, acute pain, osteoarthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis. Celecoxib, more commonly known as Celebrex; is prescribed to individuals that struggle to perform their daily activities due to the pain and inflammation caused by their condition. Celebrex helps by supressing the pain and inflammation caused and can help individuals add some form of normality back into their life by allowing them to perform their daily activities.
Celebrex is an anti-inflammatory medication and gets to work by reducing the hormones in the body that are responsible for causing pain and inflammation. Like the majority of anti-inflammatory medicines, Celebrex can help to reduce pain and swelling primarily by blocking the main enzyme that is responsible for inflammation, prostaglandins.
What is Celebrex Used for?
Celebrex belongs to the NSAID's family of medications which means that it is not only used to treat one single condition, it can be used to treat a number of painful medical conditions. Celebrex has been licensed to treat the following common conditions:
Arthritis
Acute Pain
Menstrual Pain
Osteoarthritis
Ankylosing Spondylitis
How to use Celebrex
Celebrex should be taken orally, usually once or twice daily as directed by your doctor. Celebrex should be taken with food as the majority of NSAID's can cause stomach unrest by wearing away the stomach lining. The dosage you are prescribed by your doctor will depend on the condition that you are currently suffering from and the pain that you are experiencing. 
Celebrex should be swallowed with a full glass of water to ensure the tablet reaches your stomach where it will start to dissolve and enter your system. It is important to allow the tablet time to fully digest before lying down, do not lie down for approximately 10 minutes after consumption. 
For certain conditions such as Arthritis, it may take your body around 2 weeks to experience the full benefits of Celebrex.
For individuals that are taking this medication as and when they need it, NSAID's are most effective when taken at the first sight of pain.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Never double up on your medication in the event of forgetting to take your tablets.
If you accidentally double dose you should contact your doctor or pharmacist.
