Patient summary
Celecoxib 100mg and 200mg hard capsules, used for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. A selective COX-2 inhibitor.
Mechanism of action
This medication belongs to the cox-2 inhibitor class. It functions by selectively blocking the cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme, which reduces the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation and pain, while sparing most of the protective stomach-lining enzymes.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Do not use during the third trimester of pregnancy. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.

Produced as a tablet in 100mg and 200mg strengths, the medication is widely recognised for assisting patients who require relief from inflammation and joint stiffness associated with these conditions.

This remains a highly accessible choice for expats and residents in remote areas who need to maintain their health routines without disruption.
Do I get the original Celebrex?
No. SGMeds ships a generic with the same active ingredient (celecoxib) at the strength you choose, not the original Celebrex made by Pfizer. We use the brand name so you can find the medicine, and the generic's manufacturer varies with stock.
What is Celebrex for?
Celebrex is used for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory arthritis of the spine (ankylosing spondylitis).
How is Celebrex priced?
Celebrex comes in 100 and 200mg strengths, in packs of 10 to 360 tablets. Each option's price is shown on this page in Singapore dollars, converted from US dollars, so the exchange rate can change the final amount. Larger packs work out cheaper per tablet.
Payment and prices →What are the side effects of Celebrex?

Less common ones are swelling of the legs or ankles (peripheral oedema), high blood pressure (hypertension) and insomnia. Serious side effects include heart attack (myocardial infarction) and gastrointestinal haemorrhage. Get medical help straight away if you notice one of these serious effects.
Which medicines interact with Celebrex?
Celecoxib can interact with fluconazole, warfarin and lithium. Before you start Celebrex, tell your doctor or pharmacist about any medicines, supplements or herbal remedies you take.
How fast does Celebrex work?
Celebrex usually starts to work within 1 to 2 hours, and the effect lasts about 12 to 24 hours. Some people notice it sooner, others later.
Can I order Celebrex without a prescription?

How ordering works →What you will receive
Celebrex is the originator brand name, made by Pfizer. We use it here to identify the medicine only; we are not affiliated with Pfizer and do not ship the original Celebrex.
- You receive a generic equivalent: the same active ingredient (Celecoxib) at the same dose, mostly recognised Indian branded generics from vetted manufacturers.
- The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
