Overview
Revcox 200mg Capsule contains celecoxib 200mg, a selective COX-2 inhibitor (a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute pain.
Celecoxib works by selectively blocking the COX-2 enzyme, which is responsible for producing prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation at sites of tissue injury, while having comparatively less effect on the COX-1 enzyme that protects the stomach lining.
How it Works
Celecoxib selectively inhibits cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2), reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in pain, fever, and inflammation, while relatively sparing COX-1, the enzyme that protects the stomach lining and supports normal platelet function. This selectivity is designed to lower gastrointestinal side effects compared with older, non-selective NSAIDs, though it does not eliminate the risk of gastrointestinal or cardiovascular side effects.
Directions for Use
Take Revcox 200mg Capsule with food or milk to reduce stomach upset, swallowing the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not take more than the dose prescribed by your doctor, and avoid combining it with other NSAIDs or aspirin unless specifically advised, as this increases the risk of stomach and bleeding-related side effects.
Dosage
The usual dose of Revcox 200mg Capsule depends on the condition being treated, typically ranging from once to twice daily, using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary, as determined by your doctor based on your response and risk factors.
Shelf Life

Drug / Food Interactions
- Warfarin and other blood thinners: increased risk of bleeding when combined with celecoxib
- ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and diuretics: celecoxib may reduce their blood-pressure-lowering effect and increase the risk of kidney problems
- Lithium: celecoxib can raise lithium blood levels, increasing the risk of toxicity
- Fluconazole: strongly increases celecoxib blood levels by inhibiting its metabolism, so your doctor may reduce your celecoxib dose if you need both medicines

- Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed, as advised by your doctor
- Report black or bloody stools, persistent stomach pain, or unusual bruising to your doctor promptly

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Revcox 200mg Capsule used for?
Revcox 200mg Capsule is used to relieve pain and inflammation from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other painful musculoskeletal conditions, as well as some types of acute pain.
Is celecoxib safer for the stomach than other anti-inflammatory painkillers?
Celecoxib is generally associated with a lower risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding compared with older, non-selective NSAIDs, because it spares the COX-1 enzyme that protects the stomach lining. However, it can still cause stomach-related side effects and does not eliminate this risk entirely.
Can I take this medicine if I have a heart condition?
NSAIDs including celecoxib carry a risk of increasing blood pressure and cardiovascular events, and celecoxib is contraindicated in severe heart failure. Tell your doctor about any heart, blood pressure, or stroke history before starting this medicine.
Can I take celecoxib together with aspirin or other painkillers?
Combining celecoxib with aspirin or other NSAIDs increases the risk of stomach bleeding and should only be done under your doctor’s specific guidance; low-dose aspirin for heart protection may sometimes be continued, but this should be confirmed with your doctor.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Revcox 200mg Capsule?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose – in that case, skip the missed dose and continue as normal. Do not double the dose.
