Celebrex 200mg Capsules, 10 Capsules

What Celebrex 200mg Capsules is and what it is used for?

Celebrex 200mg Capsules belongs to a group of medicines called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), and specifically a sub-group known as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. Your body makes prostaglandins that may cause pain and inflammation. In conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis your body makes more of these. Celebrex acts by reducing the production of prostaglandins, thereby reducing the pain and inflammation.

Celebrex 200mg Capsules is used in adults for the relief of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
You should expect your medicine to start working within hours of taking the first dose, but you may not experience a full effect for several days.

How to take Celebrex
Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. If you think or feel that the effect of Celebrex is too strong or too weak, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Your doctor will tell you what dose you should take. As the risk of side effects associated with heart problems may increase with dose and duration of use, it is important that you use the lowest dose that controls your pain and you should not take Celebrex for longer than necessary to control symptoms.
Method of administration
Celebrex is for oral use. The capsules can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food.
However, try to take each dose of Celebrex at the same time each day.
If you have difficulty swallowing capsules: The entire capsule contents can be sprinkled onto a level teaspoon of semi-solid food (such as cool or room temperature applesauce, rice gruel, yogurt or mashed banana) and swallowed immediately with a drink approximately 240 ml of water.
To open the capsule, hold upright to contain the granules at the bottom then gently squeeze the top and twist to remove, taking care not to spill the contents. Do not chew or crush the granules.
Contact your doctor within two weeks of starting treatment if you do not experience any benefit.
The recommended dose is
For osteoarthritis the recommended dose is 200 mg each day, increased by your doctor to a maximum of 400 mg, if needed.
The dose is usually:

Kidney or liver problems: make sure your doctor knows if you have liver or kidney problems as you may need a lower dose.
The elderly, especially those with a weight less than 50 kg: if you are over 65 years of age and especially if you weigh less than 50 kg, your doctor may want to monitor you more closely.
You should not take more than 400 mg per day.
Use in children
Celebrex is for adults only, it is not for use in children.
If you take more Celebrex than you should
You should not take more capsules than your doctor tells you to. If you take too many capsules contact your doctor, pharmacist or hospital and take your medicine with you.
If you forget to take Celebrex
If you forget to take a capsule, take it as soon as you remember. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
If you stop taking Celebrex
Suddenly stopping your treatment with Celebrex may lead to your symptoms getting worse. Do not stop taking Celebrex unless your doctor tells you to. Your doctor may tell you to reduce the dose over a few days before stopping completely.
