Celebrex 100mg Capsule contains celecoxib (100 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Selective COX-2 Inhibition: Celecoxib selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for producing substances called prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation in your body.

• Reduction of Prostaglandin Synthesis: By blocking the activity of COX-2 enzymes, celecoxib effectively reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins. This action decreases pain, inflammation, and fever.

• Less Effect on COX-1 Enzymes: Unlike other NSAIDs, celecoxib has less effect on COX-1 enzymes. These enzymes are important for protecting the stomach lining and promoting blood clotting.
