Celebrex is known as a selective COX-2 inhibitor. While it is still an NSAID like ibuprofen, Celebrex only blocks COX-2, as opposed to ibuprofen, which blocks both COX-1 and COX-2. What does this mean? A COX-2 inhibitor can be easier on the stomach, with a lower risk of causing stomach ulcers.
Ibuprofen is a non-selective COX inhibitor and hence, it inhibits the activity of both COX-1 and COX-2. The inhibition of COX-2 activity decreases the synthesis

The studies have shown COX-2 inhibitors are relatively safer than COX-1 inhibitors. A comparative study between naproxen, Ibuprofen (both selective COX-2
In this lecture, we discuss COX-2 Inhibitors (Celecoxib) - Therapeutic NSAIDs (Ibuprofen) and selective COX-2 inhibitors (Celecoxib).

COX-2: Mainly found at sites of inflammation. Celebrex is a selective COX-2 inhibitor, meaning it specifically targets COX-2, while not targeting COX-1. Ibuprofen is a non-selective COX inhibitor, meaning it works by inhibiting both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. Related questions. Can you take Ibuprofen if you have COVID-19 (coronavirus)?
