CELENIX 200MG CAP 10'S

About

Celenix 200mg capsules contain Celecoxib, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). This selective inhibition reduces the production of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation, pain, and fever, while largely sparing COX-1 activity. By selectively targeting COX-2, Celecoxib aims to provide effective pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects with a reduced risk of gastrointestinal side effects compared to non-selective NSAIDs.

It is commonly prescribed for the management of chronic inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, as well as for acute pain and primary dysmenorrhea. Patients should be aware of potential cardiovascular risks associated with selective COX-2 inhibitors, especially with long-term use or in those with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. Adherence to the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration is recommended.
