A member asked:
How fast is celebrex (celecoxib) works? for acute pain, is it better to take celebrex (celecoxib) vs. advil vs. motrin ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stick with cheap: Stick with advil or aleve . The over-the-counter forms are cheap. Celebrex (celecoxib) is prescription only and very expensive. They all have similar effectiveness.
