Side Effects of Celebrex 100mg Capsule 10

Celebrex 100mg Capsule may have the following common side effects:

Abdominal pain
Diarrhoea
Dyspepsia: This refers to indigestion, which might cause you to feel bloated or uncomfortable.
Flatulence: You might experience excessive gas in the stomach or intestines, leading to discomfort or embarrassment.
Nausea

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Celebrex 100mg Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dyspepsia: If you have indigestion, take this medicine after meals to lessen this effect.
Nausea: Consider taking Celebrex 100mg Capsule with food or milk to help manage feelings of sickness.

Celebrex 100mg Capsule contains celecoxib (100 mg), which works on your body as follows:

Selective COX-2 Inhibition: Celecoxib selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for producing substances called prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation in your body.
Reduction of Prostaglandin Synthesis: By blocking the activity of COX-2 enzymes, celecoxib effectively reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins. This action decreases pain, inflammation, and fever.
Less Effect on COX-1 Enzymes: Unlike other NSAIDs, celecoxib has less effect on COX-1 enzymes. These enzymes are important for protecting the stomach lining and promoting blood clotting.

Pregnancy

Celebrex 100mg Capsule should be avoided during late pregnancy due to the risk of premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, it's best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Celebrex 100mg Capsule is excreted into human milk. Therefore, it's not recommended for breastfeeding mothers. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Kidney

Celebrex 100mg Capsule is not recommended for patients with advanced renal disease due to potential renal toxicity. If you have a history of kidney issues, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

There's no known impact of Celebrex 100mg Capsule on your ability to drive or operate machinery. However, if you experience side effects that might affect these activities, do not drive or operate machinery until they subside.

Allergy

If you're allergic to celecoxib or any other ingredients in Celebrex 100mg Capsule, do not take this medicine. Discuss with your doctor if you've had allergic reactions after taking aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
