Colcibra 100 mg Tablet

Colcibra 100 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 100 mg of celecoxib in each tablet. Celecoxib belongs to a class of medicines called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), specifically a COX-2 selective NSAID. Colcibra 100 mg Tablet is used to help relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness in arthritis conditions. It is taken by mouth as a tablet for adults who need anti-inflammatory treatment under a doctor’s care.

How it works: Celecoxib helps reduce pain and inflammation by blocking the COX-2 enzyme, which lowers the production of prostaglandins that cause swelling and pain. In Colcibra 100 mg Tablet form, the medicine is absorbed after swallowing the tablet and then works throughout the body to ease arthritis symptoms.

Colcibra 100 mg Tablet is a lower-strength celecoxib tablet that may be used when a doctor wants a more flexible dose plan or a smaller amount per dose than higher-strength tablets. Because it is a 100 mg strength, it can fit typical starting or maintenance dosing in some arthritis treatment plans, depending on the condition and the patient’s response. A clinician may choose Colcibra 100 mg Tablet to balance pain relief with tolerability.

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Ankylosing spondylitis
• Short-term pain relief as directed by a doctor

• Swallow Colcibra 100 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed; do not split, crush, or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to.
• It may be taken with or without food, but taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time your doctor recommends.
• Do not take extra tablets if pain is still present without checking with your prescriber.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Colcibra 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of celecoxib. How often it is taken depends on the condition being treated and the doctor’s plan; some patients may take it once daily, while others may take it twice daily. Do not exceed the total daily dose your doctor prescribes, and do not use a higher amount just because symptoms are severe.

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