1. What is Celecoxib Mylan and what it is used for

Celecoxib Mylan is used in adults for the relief of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis,

osteoarthritisand ankylosing spondylitis.
Celecoxib Mylan belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs), and more precisely to a subgroup known as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. Your
body produces prostaglandins which can cause pain and inflammation. In some conditions
such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis your body produces a greater quantity of them. Celecoxib
Mylan works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, thus reducing pain and inflammation.
You should expect the medicine to start to take effect after a few hours from taking the
first dose, but it may not reach a full effect for a few days.

2. What you need to know before taking Celecoxib Mylan
