Celebrex 100mg Capsules – Celecoxib 100mg, 60 Capsules

Celebrex 100mg Capsules are a prescription medicine used to treat symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and acute pain in adults.

This medication contains the active ingredient Celecoxib which belongs to a class of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the release of certain natural substances in the body (e.g., prostaglandins) that cause pain and inflammation.

Celebrex 100mg Capsules can be taken with or without food as directed by your doctor. The usual starting dose is 200 mg per day, divided into two doses (100 mg twice daily). Your doctor may adjust this.

Celebrex is used in adults for the relief of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.

You should expect your medicine to start working within hours of taking the first dose, but you may not experience a full effect for several days.

How To Use

How to take Celebrex

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. If you think or feel that the effect of Celebrex is too strong or too weak, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Your doctor will tell you what dose you should take. As the risk of side effects associated with heart problems may increase with dose and duration of use, it is important that you use the lowest dose that controls your pain and you should not take Celebrex for longer than necessary to control symptoms.

Celebrex is for oral use. The capsules can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food. However, try to take each dose of Celebrex at the same time each day. If you have difficulty swallowing capsules: The entire capsule contents can be sprinkled onto a level teaspoon of semi-solid food (such as cool or room temperature applesauce, rice gruel, yogurt or mashed banana) and swallowed immediately with a drink approximately 240 ml of water.

To open the capsule, hold upright to contain the granules at the bottom then gently squeeze the top and twist to remove, taking care not to spill the contents. Do not chew or crush the granules.
