Zycel-200 Capsule is taken orally.

Zycel-200 Capsule contains celecoxib (200 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Selective Inhibition of COX-2 Enzymes: Celecoxib blocks cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzymes. These enzymes are involved in producing prostaglandins that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By inhibiting COX-2, celecoxib reduces these symptoms.
• Minimal Effect on COX-1 Enzymes: Unlike non-selective NSAIDs that block both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, celecoxib predominantly targets only COX-2 while sparing COX-1 enzymes that maintain normal gastric mucosa and platelet functions. This selective action reduces the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding often associated with non-selective NSAIDs.

• Store Zycel-200 Capsule at a moderate room temperature, ideally below 30°C.
• Keep the capsules away from excessive light and moisture to retain their effectiveness.
• For safety reasons, always keep this medication out of the reach of children.
• Remember to use Zycel-200 Capsule before its expiry date for optimal results.

• If you're taking Zycel-200 Capsule for arthritis conditions, consider incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like fish, green leafy vegetables, and fruits into your diet. These may help manage inflammation associated with your condition.
• Regular low-impact exercises such as swimming or cycling can also be beneficial. They can help maintain joint flexibility and reduce stiffness, complementing the action of your medicine. However, do consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
