Celecoxib 200mg Capsules
SKU GME1005Product Introduction
Celecoxib 200mg is a selective COX-2 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine for pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and selected acute-pain or menstrual-pain conditions. It provides non-opioid symptom relief rather than reversing the underlying joint disease.
How to use
Take the capsule with water, with or without food; a meal can help if it causes indigestion. The daily amount may be taken as one dose or divided doses depending on the condition. Do not add ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac or another NSAID to the same pain-relief course.
How it works
Celecoxib preferentially inhibits cyclo-oxygenase-2, or COX-2. This reduces production of prostaglandins involved in inflammatory pain and swelling while having less effect on platelet function than aspirin.
Side effects
Indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, gas, dizziness, fluid retention and raised blood pressure can occur. Chest pain, one-sided weakness, black stools, vomiting blood, reduced urine output or a severe rash require urgent medical attention.
Important information
Tell your doctor about stomach ulcers, previous bleeding, heart disease, stroke, kidney or liver disease, sulfonamide allergy, or asthma triggered by aspirin or NSAIDs. It is not used around coronary bypass surgery. Anticoagulants, steroids and some antidepressants increase bleeding risk; diuretics and ACE inhibitors or ARBs can increase kidney risk. NSAID exposure from 20 weeks of pregnancy can affect fetal kidneys, with additional fetal heart risks from about 30 weeks.
Uses
- Symptom relief in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute pain and primary dysmenorrhoea.
Benefits
Reduces inflammatory joint discomfort and stiffness, helping movement and everyday activities. COX-2 selectivity can offer a gastrointestinal tolerability advantage over some traditional NSAIDs, but does not eliminate ulcer or cardiovascular risk.
Can Celecoxib 200mg slow down arthritis damage?
No. It relieves pain and swelling but is not a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug. Rheumatoid arthritis may also need treatment that controls the immune-driven joint disease.
Does celecoxib replace low-dose aspirin for heart protection?
No. It does not provide aspirin's antiplatelet effect. When both are needed, aspirin also increases the gastrointestinal bleeding risk associated with celecoxib.
Can celecoxib be taken with a blood thinner?
Warfarin, apixaban and other anticoagulants increase bleeding risk when combined with an NSAID. The pain-treatment plan needs to account for that interaction rather than adding celecoxib independently.
Why is blood pressure monitored during celecoxib treatment?
It can cause fluid retention and raise blood pressure, sometimes reducing the effect of blood-pressure medicines. New ankle swelling or an unexplained weight increase can signal fluid retention.
