Celeston is a pharmaceutical drug that belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is commonly used for its analgesic (pain-relieving), antipyretic (fever-reducing), and anti-inflammatory properties. Celeston is specifically composed of the active ingredient celecoxib, which selectively inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), responsible for the production of inflammatory mediators called prostaglandins. By blocking COX-2, Celeston reduces inflammation, swelling, and pain associated with various conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and menstrual cramps.
Most commonly available in oral capsule form, Celeston is typically taken once or twice daily, with or without food, as directed by the prescribing healthcare provider. The dosage usually depends on the specific medical condition being treated, the patient's response to treatment, and other individual factors. It is crucial to strictly adhere to the prescribed dosage and avoid overdose, as excessive use of Celeston may lead to adverse effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular complications, allergic reactions, or liver problems.
Prior to using Celeston, one should inform their healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or ongoing medications to ensure its safe and appropriate usage. Additionally, pregnant or lactating women, as well as individuals with a history of allergic reactions to other NSAIDs, should exercise caution or consult a healthcare professional before starting Celeston. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare provider are important while using Celeston to assess its effectiveness and manage any potential side effects.
