Celebrex is approved for the treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in children as young as two years old. It is not approved for other uses in children. Talk to your child's healthcare provider about the benefits and risks of using Celebrex in children.
On occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend Celebrex for something other than the conditions listed in this article. This is called an "off-label" use. For example, research scientists are currently exploring the use of Celebrex for the treatment of certain types of cancer, including melanoma and lung cancer.
