Is celebrex (celecoxib) a narcotic?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, just an NSAID: Celebrex (celecoxib) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication. It does not work on any mu receptors as opioids do and does not cause any central cognitive effects. It works at the site of inflammation only. I hope that helps!

NSAIDS: Celebrex (celecoxib) is a non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug. Though it can relieve arthritic pain by cutting down inflammation, it is not a narcotic.
