Celedol 100 Capsule

Celedol 100 Capsule is a prescription celecoxib medicine in capsule form, with 100 mg of celecoxib in each capsule. It belongs to the NSAID class, more specifically a COX-2 selective anti-inflammatory pain reliever. Celedol 100 Capsule is used to help relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness in conditions such as arthritis. It is made by Ipca Laboratories, India, and is supplied in a strip/box of 10 capsules.

How it works: Celecoxib in Celedol 100 Capsule blocks the COX-2 enzyme, which helps reduce the chemicals that cause pain and inflammation in the body. The capsule form is swallowed and releases the medicine for absorption after you take it by mouth.

Celedol 100 Capsule is the lower-strength option compared with Celedol 200 Capsule, so it is often chosen when a doctor wants a more gradual dose or a smaller amount per dose. This can be useful for people who are sensitive to NSAIDs, need dose adjustment, or are starting celecoxib at a lower strength before changing based on response and tolerability.

• Swallow Celedol 100 Capsule whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, chew, or open the capsule unless your prescriber tells you to.
• It may be taken with or without food; taking it with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• Try to take it at the same time each day if you are using it regularly.
• Use only the dose and schedule your doctor prescribes; do not take extra capsules for faster relief.
• Avoid taking it with other NSAIDs unless your doctor specifically says to do so.

Each Celedol 100 Capsule provides 100 mg of celecoxib. The number of capsules taken per day depends on the condition being treated and your doctor’s instructions; some regimens use once-daily or twice-daily dosing, but the exact schedule must be individualized. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose your prescriber recommends for you.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
