Celecoxib is an anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug used to treat acute pain and primary dysmenorrhea. It works by selectively inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis through inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to the drug or other NSAIDs, those with severe hepatic impairment, and for postoperative pain after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, insomnia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dyspepsia, flatulence, and nausea. Nursing considerations include monitoring for signs of bleeding, fluid retention, liver toxicity, and cardiovascular risk factors.
