Celeact
Celeact contains Celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain, swelling, and joint stiffness. Because it selectively inhibits COX-2, it typically causes fewer gastrointestinal side effects than non-selective NSAIDs.
Dosage by Body Weight
For adults, the standard dose ranges from 100 mg to 200 mg taken once or twice daily depending on the medical condition. It can be taken with or without food. Take with food if stomach upset occurs. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration possible as prescribed by a doctor.
