Celcib 100 mg Capsule

Celcib 100 mg Capsule is a prescription pain-relief medicine that contains 100 mg of celecoxib in each capsule. It belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class, more specifically a COX-2 selective NSAID. Celcib 100 mg Capsule is used to reduce pain and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis and other painful inflammatory problems. The capsule form is swallowed whole, making it a practical option for adults who need an oral anti-inflammatory medicine.

How it works: Celecoxib in Celcib 100 mg Capsule works by blocking the COX-2 enzyme, which helps make prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. By lowering these chemicals, the capsule can ease joint and muscle pain and help improve movement.

Celcib 100 mg Capsule is the lower celecoxib capsule strength commonly used when a doctor wants to start with a smaller dose or adjust therapy more gently. It may be chosen for people who need regular anti-inflammatory treatment but do not need a higher dose right away, or for those whose doctor wants to limit side effects while still providing pain control. Because each capsule contains 100 mg, the exact daily schedule depends on the condition being treated and the prescriber’s plan.

• Osteoarthritis pain and stiffness
• Rheumatoid arthritis symptom relief
• Ankylosing spondylitis
• Short-term pain relief as prescribed
• Menstrual pain in some patients

• Swallow Celcib 100 mg Capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open it.
• You can take it with or without food, but taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, since celecoxib dosing can differ by condition.
• Try to take it at the same time each day if your doctor has prescribed regular use.
• Do not take extra capsules for breakthrough pain unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Celcib 100 mg Capsule provides 100 mg of celecoxib. How often you take it may range from once daily to twice daily depending on the condition, and your doctor decides the right schedule and total daily dose. Do not exceed the maximum daily amount your prescriber recommends; for celecoxib, the dose must be individualized and should not be increased on your own.

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