Cobix 200 Capsule 10

Cobix 200 Mg Capsule 10 is used to manage pain, swelling and stiffness in adults with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and acute pain, including menstrual cramps.

Uses of Cobix 200 Mg Capsule 10 are:

• Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Relieves pain, tenderness and swelling associated with these joint conditions.
• Ankylosing Spondylitis: Helps manage chronic back pain and stiffness caused by this condition.
• Acute Pain and Menstrual Cramps: Provides relief from short-term pain, including primary dysmenorrhoea.

Here's how you should take your Cobix-200 Capsule:

• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Avoid crushing or chewing it.
• Remember, if you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But never take two doses together to make up for a missed one. Always consult your doctor for more specific advice on how to use this medicine.

Cobix-200 Capsule is taken orally.

Cobix-200 Capsule contains celecoxib (200 mg). Here's how it works:

• Selective COX-2 Inhibition: Celecoxib functions by selectively inhibiting an enzyme known as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). This enzyme is responsible for producing prostaglandins, substances in your body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking COX-2, celecoxib effectively reduces these symptoms.
• Gastric Protection: Unlike some other NSAIDs, celecoxib doesn't significantly inhibit another enzyme called COX-1. This enzyme helps protect the lining of your stomach. Therefore, the risk of causing gastric ulcers is lower with celecoxib compared to non-selective NSAIDs.

• Store Cobix-200 Capsule at room temperature.
• Keep it away from excessive moisture; a dry place is best.
• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.
• Always check the expiry date before use and avoid using any past their expiry date.

• If you're managing osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis with Cobix-200 Capsule, try to maintain a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like fish, flaxseeds), which can help reduce inflammation.
• Regular low-impact exercise like swimming or cycling can help improve joint flexibility and reduce stiffness. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
