Celecoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor. It provides anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects while sparing COX-1 in the stomach, which is responsible for producing protective prostaglandins. This makes it a safer choice for patients with a history of peptic ulcer disease compared to non-selective NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen.
