Celeheal contains Celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor belonging to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class. It is used to relieve pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute musculoskeletal pain. Its selective action helps reduce gastrointestinal side effects compared to traditional NSAIDs.

Mechanism of Action

• Celecoxib selectively inhibits the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which is responsible for producing prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation.

• By sparing COX-1, which protects the stomach lining, Celecoxib reduces pain and inflammation while lowering the risk of stomach irritation and ulcers.

  Uses

  • Relief of pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

  • Management of ankylosing spondylitis.

  • Treatment of acute musculoskeletal pain.

  • Relief of painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea) in some cases.

    Adverse Effects

    • Nausea, vomiting, or stomach upset

    • Headache or dizziness

    • Mild swelling (edema)

    • Upper respiratory symptoms (cold, sinus congestion)
