Celecoxib 200 mg cap?

Celecoxib 200 mg capsule is the 200 mg strength of the COX-2 NSAID celecoxib (brand name Celebrex). It’s a capsule you swallow with water and is used for pain and inflammation.

Typical dosing (depends on condition and doctor’s instruction):
- Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis: often 100 mg twice daily or 200 mg once daily (up to a maximum of 400 mg per day).
- Acute pain or dysmenorrhea: 400 mg at the start, then 200 mg as needed, not to exceed 400 mg in a 24-hour period.
- Dosing can vary, so follow your prescription label exactly.

Important safety points:
- Do not take if you’re allergic to celecoxib or to sulfonamides.
- Use with caution if you have a history of stomach ulcers, kidney or liver problems, or heart disease; there’s a risk of GI bleeding and cardiovascular events.
- Can interact with other NSAIDs, anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), diuretics, lithium, and some blood pressure meds; tell your clinician about all medicines you use.
- Not recommended in the later stages of pregnancy without medical advice.
- Take with food if you get stomach upset.
