Celecoxib
Celecoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) primarily used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. It works by inhibiting certain substances in the body that cause inflammation, thereby alleviating discomfort and swelling. Celecoxib is available in capsule form, making it easy to ingest and fast-acting for those experiencing acute or chronic pain. This medication is often prescribed for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders. It is known for its selective action that targets specific enzymes, reducing the risk of gastrointestinal issues commonly associated with traditional NSAIDs. Celecoxib's efficacy in improving joint function and quality of life in arthritis patients is well-documented. It is commonly recommended for patients seeking a reliable and convenient option for managing pain.Active substance:
