Question: are celebrex and naproxen the same?
Answer: Celebrex and Naproxen are NSAIDs that can treat pain from arthritis and menstrual cramps. Naproxen can also treat pain from gout and tendonitis. Celebrex is a COX-1 selective inhibitor while naproxen is a nonselective COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitor. Therefore, they work slightly differently.
