๐ฟ What is Celeheal (Celecoxib)?
Celeheal contains Celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. By preferentially blocking COX-2, it decreases pain and inflammation while sparing COX-1โmediated gastric protection. As a result, Celeheal delivers effective symptom relief with a reduced risk of gastrointestinal ulcers compared to traditional NSAIDs.
