Q: Does celebrex contain a narcotic?

I cannot tolerate a high or medium dose of a narcotic. It will cause hallucinations.

Hi Glenna,

 

Thank you for your question. Celebrex is not a narcotic medication at all. It's actually in the same family of medications as Aleve and Advil, which are both over the counter pain relievers. Celebrex is a little stronger than the over the counter medications, but it's not near the potency of a narcotic.

 

Best of luck,

Casey
