COXICEL 200MG CAPSULES 30'S

Coxicel is used in adults for the relief of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Coxicel belongs to a group of medicinal products called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), and specifically a sub-group known as (COX-2) inhibitors. Your body makes prostaglandins that may cause pain and inflammation. In conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, your body makes more of these. Coxicel acts by reducing the production of prostaglandins, thereby reducing the pain and inflammation.

Method of administration: Coxicel is for oral use. The capsules can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food. However, try to take each dose of Coxicel at the same time each day.

- an allergic reaction such as skin rash, swelling of the face, wheezing or difficulty breathing
