Celebrex (celecoxib) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and does not contain sulfa. However, individuals with known sulfa allergies may still have a reaction to Celebrex, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking the medication.

This difference in enzyme structure allows sulfa drugs to selectively inhibit bacterial growth while leaving human cells unharmed. By blocking folic acid production, sulfa drugs prevent bacteria from synthesizing DNA and proteins, ultimately leading to their death.
