Therapeutic Class

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic

Mode of Action

Celecoxib, an NSAID, is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor primarily responsible for inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. It exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. High fat meal may delay absorption time. Time to peak plasma concentration: Approx 2-3 hours. Distribution: Extensively distributed in tissues and present in breastmilk. Volume of distribution: Approx 400 L. Plasma protein binding: Approx 97%, mainly to albumin. Metabolism: Metabolised in the liver by CYP2C9 to form inactive metabolites such as a primary alcohol, corresponding carboxylic acid and its glucuronide conjugate. Excretion: Via urine (27% as metabolites, <3% as unchanged drug), faeces (approx 57% as metabolites, <3% as unchanged drug). Elimination half-life: Approx 11 hours.
