Celib 200 mg Capsule

Celib 200 mg Capsule is a prescription medicine that contains 200 mg of celecoxib in each capsule. Celecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain and swelling. Celib 200 mg Capsule is used for arthritis-related pain and inflammation, including conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, when a doctor decides this strength is appropriate.

How it works: Celecoxib in Celib 200 mg Capsule blocks COX-2, an enzyme that helps the body make prostaglandins, which are chemicals involved in pain and swelling. By lowering these chemicals, the capsule can ease joint pain and stiffness while helping inflammation settle down.

Celib 200 mg Capsule is a higher-strength celecoxib capsule, so it is usually chosen for people whose symptoms need stronger anti-inflammatory relief or for a dosing plan set by a doctor. Because each capsule contains 200 mg, it is not the same as lower-strength celecoxib products and should be used only as prescribed, especially in people who may need a lower starting dose or have added risk factors.

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Ankylosing spondylitis
• Pain and inflammation relief
• Doctor-directed arthritis symptom control

• Swallow Celib 200 mg Capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open the capsule.
• It may be taken with or without food, but taking it with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• Take it exactly at the times prescribed by your doctor and do not change the schedule on your own.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time prescribed.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Do not take extra doses for faster relief.

Each Celib 200 mg Capsule provides 200 mg of celecoxib per capsule. Your doctor will decide how often you should take it, based on your condition, your response, and your risk of side effects. Some patients may take it once daily or twice daily, and the usual maximum total daily dose depends on the condition being treated and should not be exceeded without medical guidance.

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

Common side effects of Celecoxib may include:

• Stomach pain or indigestion
• Diarrhea
• Gas
• Nausea
• Headache

• Swelling in the legs or ankles

• Celib 200 mg Capsule is a higher-strength celecoxib product, so it should only be used under a doctor’s direction.
• People with a history of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, or fluid retention need extra caution because NSAIDs can raise cardiovascular risk.
• Avoid using it with other NSAIDs unless your clinician specifically says so, because that can increase stomach and kidney risks.
• Tell your doctor if you have a sulfonamide allergy, asthma triggered by pain relievers, ulcers, or bleeding problems.
• Alcohol can increase the chance of stomach irritation and bleeding.
• It may cause dizziness in some people, so use care when driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
• If you are pregnant, especially later in pregnancy, ask a clinician before taking celecoxib.

• Other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or diclofenac
• Blood thinners such as warfarin
• ACE inhibitors or ARBs and diuretics, which can affect kidney function and blood pressure
