What brand names is celecoxib sold under?
Celecoxib is the active ingredient in several branded products, depending on country and manufacturer. The best-known brand name in the United States is Celebrex (celecoxib). [1]

No. Celecoxib can also appear under other brand names and formulations in different markets, and it is widely available as a generic in many countries. Specific brand names vary by region.
What is celecoxib used for?
Celecoxib is a pain and inflammation medicine in the NSAID class (COX-2 selective). It’s used for conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, and it may be prescribed for acute pain in some cases.
If I’m looking up a prescription, what should I check?
When you search a medication name, check the label for the active ingredient “celecoxib” (not just the brand). Different brands can contain the same drug, and generics will typically list “celecoxib” as the ingredient.
Are there brand vs generic differences?
The brand name changes, but the active ingredient is the same when you’re taking celecoxib. Differences, if any, are usually about inactive ingredients (fillers, coatings) or formulation—not the core drug effect.
