Understanding Celecoxib: Smart Pain Relief for Your Joints
Celecoxib is a modern COX-2 selective inhibitor (a type of NSAID) that has been helping Filipinos manage osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) with less stomach upset than traditional pain medicines. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition under selective COX-2 inhibitors, you can trust this is a DOH-approved, evidence-based treatment for inflammation and pain management.
How Celecoxib Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your body has two types of enzymes that produce prostaglandins (chemicals causing pain and inflammation):
- COX-1 - The "good guy" that protects your stomach lining and helps blood clotting
- COX-2 - The "troublemaker" that triggers pain and inflammation when you're injured or have arthritis

Safety & Side Effects: What to Watch For ⚠️
Most patients tolerate Celecoxib well, especially compared to older NSAIDs, but be a smart medicine user:
- Common: Stomach pain, diarrhea, gas, bloating, sore throat, cold symptoms—these are usually mild and temporary
- Serious (Rare but Important): Chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness on one side of body, slurred speech, black/bloody stools, or vomiting blood. Seek immediate medical attention if these occur
- Allergy Alert: If you're allergic to sulfa drugs (sulfonamides), tell our doctor during teleconsultation—Celecoxib may not be suitable for you
- Heart & Stroke Risk: Like all NSAIDs, long-term use may increase risk of heart attack or stroke, especially in patients with pre-existing conditions. Use lowest effective dose for shortest time needed
- Important: Do not combine with other NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin for pain) without doctor advice
