Introduction

Selcoxib 200mg Capsule is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called COX-2 inhibitors. It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that are responsible for pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). It is used to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. However, it may cause fewer stomach problems as compared to other NSAIDs like Ibuprofen or Naproxen. It may also cause dizziness and fatigue. Do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Selcoxib 200mg Capsule may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
