Generic for celecoxib?

Question

Accepted Answer

The generic name for Celebrex is celecoxib. Celebrex is simply the brand name; celecoxib is the active ingredient.
Generic celecoxib is produced by many manufacturers and is available in capsule strengths such as 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, and 400 mg.
Common uses: relief of pain and inflammation in conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout-related pain.
Dosing varies by condition; typical adult ranges are roughly 100–200 mg twice daily or 200 mg once daily, up to 400 mg per day. For acute pain, a higher initial dose may be used (e.g., 400 mg), then reduced. Always follow your clinician’s instructions.
Safety notes: as an NSAID/COX-2 inhibitor, it carries risk of stomach/intestinal bleeding, cardiovascular events, kidney issues, and interactions with certain drugs (anticoagulants, other NSAIDs, SSRIs, etc.). Not recommended in the third trimester of pregnancy and in some people with sulfonamide sensitivity.
