How It Works
Celecoxib targets the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which is responsible for producing prostaglandins—the chemicals in your body that trigger pain and inflammation.
- Targeted Relief: Unlike traditional NSAIDs (like ibuprofen or aspirin), celecoxib is designed to block COX-2 while having a minimal effect on COX-1.
- Stomach Protection: Because COX-1 helps protect the stomach lining, celecoxib typically carries a lower risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding compared to non-selective NSAIDs, especially during short-term use.
