What kind of company is Celebrex?

Celebrex is not a company, but rather a brand name for the drug celecoxib. Celecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to treat pain , inflammation, and stiffness caused by conditions such as arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. It works by reducing the production of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain. Celebrex was approved for use by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1998 , and is marketed and sold by Pfizer Inc., a leading global pharmaceutical company. In recent years, there has been some controversy over the safety and effectiveness of Celebrex and other COX-2 inhibitors, with some studies suggesting an increased risk of heart attacks and stroke associated with long-term use. Despite these concerns, Celebrex remains a popular and widely used medication for the treatment of chronic pain and inflammation.
