CELOCOXX 200 Capsule is a premium formulation containing Celecoxib 200 mg, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that belongs to the selective COX-2 inhibitor class. It is widely recognized for its potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties, making it an essential therapeutic option in the management of chronic and acute musculoskeletal pain disorders.

Unlike conventional NSAIDs that inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, Celecoxib specifically targets the COX-2 isoenzyme, which is primarily responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in pain and inflammation. This selectivity significantly reduces the risk of gastrointestinal complications such as ulcers, bleeding, and dyspepsia, which are common with non-selective NSAIDs like ibuprofen and diclofenac.

CELOCOXX 200 is especially useful in the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, providing symptomatic relief from joint swelling, stiffness, and chronic pain. It is also indicated for ankylosing spondylitis, a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, and is highly effective in controlling acute pain including post-operative pain, dental pain, and primary dysmenorrhea in women. In some cases, Celecoxib is also used adjunctively in the treatment of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) to reduce colorectal polyps.

Pharmacodynamically, Celecoxib works by reducing prostaglandin production at the site of inflammation without affecting the protective prostaglandins in the stomach. Its selectivity for COX-2 leads to fewer gastrointestinal adverse events and makes it a preferred NSAID for long-term use in patients with chronic inflammatory disorders.
