Celebrex uses
This medicine is a capsule version of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Treating arthritis, acute pain, and menstruation pain/discomfort are some uses for this medication. It’s a COX-12 inhibitor, which means it reduces swelling and discomfort. This is accomplished by inhibiting the enzymes that cause the body to generate prostaglandins.
This is an orally given medicine used to treat stomach discomfort. It is taken once or twice a day with meals, as directed. Unless otherwise directed, take a full glass of water with each dosage and avoid lying down for at least an hour thereafter.
The medication’s full impact might take up to two weeks. This medication works best when used as required. Wait until the discomfort becomes unbearable before seeking medical treatment.
