Celecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) available as capsules for oral use. It has pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and fever-reducing properties. It relieves symptoms and reduces inflammation but does not cure the underlying illness or stop it from getting worse; it only works for as long as you keep taking it.
