Generic Celecoxib 100 mg is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that relieves pain and inflammation (swelling). Generic Celecoxib is most commonly used for acute pain, menstrual cramps, and the pain and inflammation of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Like older NSAIDs such as Motrin and Naprosyn, Generic Celecoxib 100 mg is believed to fight pain and inflammation by inhibiting the effect of a natural enzyme called COX-2. Unlike the older medications, however, it does not interfere with a similar substance, called COX-1, which exerts a protective effect on the lining of the stomach. Generic Celecoxib 100 mg is therefore less likely to cause the bleeding and ulcers that sometimes accompany sustained use of the older NSAIDs.
