Celebrex (Celecoxib) Buyer and Patient Handbook in Singapore
What is Celebrex?
Celebrex is an oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing the active ingredient celecoxib. It belongs to the muscle relaxant class and is approved to relieve Pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis and acute musculoskeletal injuries. In Singapore, Celebrex is registered with the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and is available as a standard tablet.
Who Should Use Celebrex?
- Adults with chronic joint pain or inflammation
- Patients experiencing acute sprains, strains, or sports-related muscle aches
- Individuals who have previously tolerated COX-2 selective NSAIDs without gastrointestinal complications
- Those seeking a once-daily dosing regimen
How Does It Work?
Celebrex selectively blocks the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which is a key driver of prostaglandin production at sites of inflammation. By sparing COX-1, it reduces pain and swelling while preserving the stomach’s protective lining. This targeted action lets you stay active-whether you’re driving to work, lifting light objects, or returning to your exercise routine-without the stomach irritation common to traditional NSAIDs.
Why Choose Celebrex?
- Targeted COX-2 inhibition offers effective pain relief with a lower risk of gastric ulceration compared with non-selective NSAIDs.
- Once-daily dosing simplifies adherence, especially for busy professionals.
- Generic celecoxib tablets provide the same therapeutic effect at a reduced cost, giving you flexibility in budgeting.
- Off-label uses (e.g., Migraine prophylaxis) should only be considered after discussing potential benefits and risks with a qualified health professional.

Reviews
Okay, day 3 on Celebrex. My knee feels way less stiff in the morning, but man, my stomach is acting up. It's not terrible, just a constant mild churning feeling. My friend said to take it with a full meal, not just a banana. Didn't listen, paid the price. Trying that tomorrow.
Prescribed this for chronic back pain from an old injury. The first week kinda sucked -- headaches and felt a bit dizzy. Almost quit. But my doc said push through, and honestly after 2 weeks it's like a different drug. Pain is manageable now. Just takes time for your body to adjust.
Been on 200mg for my arthritis for almost a year. It's good for the joint pain, but I noticed my ankles swell up if I don't drink a ton of water. I aim for 3 liters a day now, with some electrolytes. Makes a huge difference. Doctor said it's a common side effect, just need to manage it.
My hack is setting an alarm to take it at the exact same time every day, right after lunch. If I take it late, I can't sleep. Also, DO NOT take it on an empty stomach, trust me. The stomach ache is brutal. But hey, I can finally play badminton with my grandkids again, so it's worth the fuss.
Comparing to other NSAIDs I've tried, this one is easier on my kidneys. Ibuprofen messed me up. But Celebrex costs a lot more. I split the 200mg pills sometimes to save money, my doctor said it's okay since it's a capsule, just have to be careful. Works just as well.
Started for my spondylitis. The pain relief is real, it lets me work. But the trade-off is this weird, mild ringing in my ears (tinnitus). It's not loud, but it's always there now. Mentioned it to my specialist, he said it's a known but less common side effect. Weighing if the silence was better than the pain.
I only take 100mg when I have a really bad flare-up. It knocks the inflammation down in a few hours. But it messes with my sleep if I take it after 4pm. I feel a bit wired. So now it's strictly a morning pill for me. Good as a rescue med, wouldn't want to be on it daily.
After 5 years, it's just part of my routine. The key for me is pairing it with a good probiotic yogurt in the morning. Zero stomach issues since I started doing that. The effectiveness dipped a bit last year, so we upped to 200mg. Still works, just not the miracle it was the first two years.
