Celebrex 200 mg Capsule contains a single active ingredient, celecoxib (200 mg). Here is how it works in your body:

• Inhibits COX-2 enzyme: Celecoxib works by blocking an enzyme in your body known as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). This enzyme plays a crucial role in producing substances called prostaglandins that cause inflammation, pain, and fever.

• Reduces Symptoms: By blocking the activity of COX-2, celecoxib effectively reduces inflammation, pain, and fever. This selective action potentially reduces the risk of stomach-related side effects compared to other NSAIDs that block not just COX-2 but also COX-1, which is important for protecting the stomach lining.

• Store Celebrex 200 mg Capsule at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Protect the capsule from moisture to maintain its efficacy.

• Keep it out of reach and sight of children.

• Always ensure the medication is used before its expiry date.

• If you are managing osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis with Celebrex 200 mg Capsule, engage in regular gentle exercise like walking or swimming. It helps enhance joint flexibility and reduce stiffness.

• Make sure to include anti-inflammatory foods in your diet, such as leafy greens, fish, and turmeric. They provide natural support in managing inflammation associated with these conditions.
