    Celecoxib works by selectively inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which plays a key role in the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals that promote inflammation, pain, and fever at the site of injury or inflammation. By inhibiting COX-2, Celecoxib reduces the synthesis of these inflammatory prostaglandins, leading to a decrease in pain, swelling, and fever. Unlike non-selective NSAIDs, which inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, Celecoxib primarily targets COX-2, which helps minimize some of the gastrointestinal side effects that are often seen with other NSAIDs.
