Approved by the FDA in December 1998, Celecoxib is a sulfa non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drug (NSAID) which is primarily used in the treatment of arthritis. Celecoxib is a prescription drug marketed by Pfizer under the brand name Celebrex. It is meant for arthritic patients who need long term treatment from pain and inflammation.

Other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen relieve pain but cause severe side effects of the gastro intestinal tract in the form of ulcers and bleeding in the stomach and the intestines. Celebrex is a newly designed COX-2 inhibitor drug. Cox-2 is a specific pain causing enzyme also known as cyclooxygenase which is present in the body.

Celebrex blocks this enzyme thus reducing inflammation and pain. As the COX-2 enzyme has no role to play in the general working of the gastro intestinal tract, the side effects caused by the conventional NSAID drugs are eliminated. Thus Celebrex is a more preferred drug to treat and give relief to arthritic patients.

Celebrex has a significant advantage over other anti inflammatory drugs in that it is more effective than conventional drugs for relieving arthritic pain without the side effects usually attributed to such anti-inflammatory drugs. Patients suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis will find an improvement in their condition after taking Celebrex for a period of two weeks, while patients suffering from Osteoarthritis feel relief from pain within a few days of taking Celebrex.

But the patient has to continue the treatment for some time to sustain the relief from pain and inflammation. Celebrex offers flexibility in that the medicine can be taken as a single dose or in divided doses. Elderly patients and those who are taking anticoagulants would experience a lot of relief when they take Celebrex rather than conventional NSAID drugs.

Ordering Celebrex online from Canamerica global is beneficial to the patient as it is safe and convenient and the medicines are safe and genuine. Above all the patient gets the medicines at a cheaper rate and as such can save quite a bit of money too.
