CompositionZycel 100 Capsule is used to manage pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis. It is a single-ingredient COX-2 selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing celecoxib.
It is also used for rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, short-term acute pain after surgery or injury, and painful menstrual cramps. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water, with or without food. Take it in the dose, frequency and duration prescribed by your doctor.
Gentle, joint-friendly exercise, a healthy weight to reduce strain on your joints, and warm or cold compresses on painful areas can support your treatment.
Before starting, tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers or bleeding, asthma, or an allergy to sulphonamide medicines or other NSAIDs, and about all other medicines, supplements or herbal products you take. Report chest pain, breathlessness, black or bloody stools, or swelling of the ankles immediately. Avoid it in the later stages of pregnancy. Follow the prescribed dose, frequency and duration, report persistent or serious side effects, and do not stop the medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
