Product Introduction:
Zycel 200 Capsule is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that provides relief from pain, redness, and swelling associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It works by inhibiting the release of certain chemicals in the body responsible for causing inflammation and pain, making it effective in managing joint pain and stiffness.
Salt Composition:
- Celecoxib (200mg)
How to Use:
- Dosage: Take Zycel 200 Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may vary based on your condition and pain level. Do not take more than the recommended dose or use it for longer than advised.
- With or Without Food: You can take this medicine with or without food. However, it’s best to take it at a fixed time each day for optimal effect.

How Zycel Capsule Works:
Zycel 200 Capsule contains Celecoxib, which is a COX-2 inhibitor. It works by blocking the action of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme responsible for producing prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing the levels of these chemicals, Zycel helps reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling in conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
