About Dorsiflex capsule 200mg

Dorsiflex capsule 200mg Uses

What Experts Say

Celecoxib relieves pain and inflammation by blocking a specific inflammatory pathway, and it tends to be gentler on the stomach than some older painkillers, though it is not risk free.

It is commonly used for arthritis pain and menstrual cramps, taken with food to help absorption and reduce any stomach discomfort.

Like other medicines in this group, it can raise the risk of heart attack or stroke with prolonged or high dose use, so it works best at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed, especially in people with existing heart disease.
