Uses of Celosti

Celosti is an anti-inflammatory pain reliever that is used to treat pain caused by inflammation. Celosti has a lower risk of gastrointestinal side effects, so it may be safer for people with a history of stomach problems.

Celosti contains the active ingredient Celecoxib 200mg. This is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
Mechanism of action of Celecoxib: This is a selective inhibitor of the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). This is the enzyme that catalyzes the production of chemical mediators that cause the inflammatory response. Since then, it has anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, fever-reducing effects. Celecoxib inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, primarily through inhibition of COX-2 and reduction of prostaglandin precursor formation. Because the drug does not have a COX-1 inhibitory effect, celecoxib has a low risk of adverse effects on the gastric mucosa and anti-platelet aggregation.
