What is Celebrex ?
Celebrex is a medication used to relieve some symptoms caused by arthritis, such as inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain. However, this medicine does not cure arthritis and will help you only as long as you continue to take it. Celebrex may also be used for the following problems:
•   Familial adenomatous polyposis (polyps in the intestines)
•   Moderate or severe pain, such as after dental or orthopedic procedures
•   Pain during menstruation

The Celebrex dosage will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medication. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so. The number of capsules that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are taking Celebrex.

What are Allergic reactions may occur due to use of Celebrex?
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to Celebrex, other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin, other salicylates, or sulfonamide-type medicines.
