Zycel 200 Capsule 4 contains celecoxib (200 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Selective COX-2 Inhibition: Celecoxib selectively blocks an enzyme called cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) that produces prostaglandins, substances that cause pain and inflammation in the body.

• Anti-Inflammatory Action: By reducing the production of prostaglandins at sites of inflammation, it helps decrease swelling, pain, and redness in affected joints and tissues.

• Pain Relief: It blocks pain signals by reducing the production of pain-causing chemicals, providing relief from various types of pain, including joint pain and menstrual cramps.

• Fever Reduction: By inhibiting prostaglandins that regulate body temperature, celecoxib helps reduce fever associated with inflammatory conditions.

• Store at room temperature (below 30°C).

• Keep in a tightly closed container, away from heat, moisture, and direct light.

• Protect from exposure to air.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the pack.

• If you have osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis (joint inflammation), gentle activities like swimming or walking can help maintain joint mobility and reduce stiffness without putting excessive strain on painful joints.

• Including foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like fatty fish) and antioxidants (like colourful fruits and vegetables) may help reduce inflammation in your body and complement the action of celecoxib.
