Doctors often recommend Celebrex for the best pain relief. This powerful prescription pain killer contains a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) along with a COX-2 inhibitor. Typically, doctors prescribe per pill Celebrex doses of 100 mg or 200 mg.
Pain clinic specialists and general practice (GP) physicians prescribe Celebrex for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and acute pain caused by menstruation. Unlike other pain killers, however, Celebrex poses a risk of stomach bleeding, heart attack, and stroke. Unfortunately, non-generic drugs for the best pain relief may have serious side effects.
The generic name for Celebrex is celecoxib. Related brand names for this sulfonamide include Celebra for arthritis and Onsenal for painful polyps.
