Celecoxib is on the WHO Essential Medicines List.<\/p>\n<p>Celecoxib selectively blocks the <strong>COX-2 enzyme<\/strong> (responsible for inflammation) while largely sparing the <strong>COX-1 enzyme<\/strong> (which maintains stomach lining, kidney perfusion, and platelet function). This mechanism gives celecoxib a significantly lower risk of peptic ulcer disease and GI bleeding than classical non-selective NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, diclofenac, and naproxen. The large-scale PRECISION trial (2016) confirmed that at moderate doses celecoxib is non-inferior to ibuprofen and naproxen in cardiovascular safety, with better GI tolerance.<\/p>\n<p>Two capsule strengths are available:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Celeheal 100&nbsp;mg<\/strong> &mdash; osteoarthritis maintenance, first-dose in rheumatoid arthritis<\/li>\n<li><strong>Celeheal 200&nbsp;mg<\/strong> &mdash; standard dose for osteoarthritis and acute pain; half of the rheumatoid\/ankylosing spondylitis total daily dose<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Celeheal Used For?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Osteoarthritis<\/strong> &mdash; chronic joint pain, especially in patients with prior GI problems<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rheumatoid arthritis<\/strong> &mdash; symptomatic relief of active disease<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ankylosing spondylitis<\/strong> &mdash; first-line NSAID, long-term<\/li>\n<li><strong>Acute pain<\/strong> &mdash; post-surgical, musculoskeletal injury, dental<\/li>\n<li><strong>Primary dysmenorrhoea<\/strong> &mdash; when a stomach-friendly NSAID is wanted<\/li>\n<li><strong>Juvenile idiopathic arthritis<\/strong> (2 years and over, specialist supervision)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)<\/strong> &mdash; adjunctive use to reduce polyp burden (specialist GI indication)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Celecoxib Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Celecoxib is a <strong>selective COX-2 inhibitor (&ldquo;coxib&rdquo;)<\/strong> &mdash; it blocks the inflammation-driving COX-2 enzyme while largely sparing COX-1 (the enzyme responsible for stomach protection and normal platelet function).

The risk is highest in patients over 65, in those with prior ulcer disease, and in anyone also taking low-dose aspirin, corticosteroids, SSRIs, or anticoagulants. Take Celeheal <em>met voedsel<\/em>, use the <em>lowest effective dose for the shortest reasonable time<\/em>, and ask your doctor about co-prescribing a proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole, pantoprazole) if you need it for more than 2&ndash;4 weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Opmerking:<\/strong> Even though celecoxib has the lowest GI risk of any NSAID, GI ulcers and bleeds still occur &mdash; especially in patients &gt; 65, those on low-dose aspirin, and those on warfarin, DOACs, or SSRIs. The &ldquo;stomach-safe&rdquo; label is relative, not absolute.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Should Not Take Celeheal?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Known hypersensitivity to celecoxib, other sulphonamides, or any NSAID<\/li>\n<li>Active or recurrent peptic ulcer or GI bleed<\/li>\n<li>Aspirin- or NSAID-induced asthma, urticaria, or angioedema<\/li>\n<li>Severe heart failure (NYHA III&ndash;IV)<\/li>\n<li>Established ischaemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, or cerebrovascular disease &mdash; celecoxib is generally not a first-choice NSAID in these groups<\/li>\n<li>Recent CABG surgery<\/li>\n<li>Severe hepatic impairment (Child&ndash;Pugh C)<\/li>\n<li>Severe renal impairment (CrCl &lt; 30&nbsp;mL\/min)<\/li>\n<li>Third trimester of pregnancy<\/li>\n<li>Inflammatory bowel disease flare<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Sulphonamide allergy note:<\/strong> celecoxib contains a sulphonamide group. It is generally avoided in patients with a documented sulfa-drug reaction, although cross-reactivity with antibiotic sulphonamides is less well established than once thought.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cardiovasculair risico<\/h3>\n<p>All NSAIDs (except low-dose aspirin) carry some increase in the risk of heart attack and stroke, and can worsen heart failure. The risk is dose- and duration-dependent and is generally highest with COX-2 selective agents and with diclofenac. Patients with established ischaemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, stroke, or uncontrolled hypertension should use non-selective NSAIDs (ibuprofen or naproxen) at the lowest effective dose, or use paracetamol instead where possible.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Renal (kidney) safety<\/h3>\n<p>NSAIDs reduce renal prostaglandin production, which can cause salt and water retention, raise blood pressure, and &mdash; in vulnerable patients &mdash; cause acute kidney injury. High-risk groups are the elderly, patients on ACE inhibitors\/ARBs plus diuretics (the &ldquo;triple whammy&rdquo;), anyone dehydrated (vomiting, diarrhoea, heat, heavy exercise), and those with pre-existing CKD. Stop the NSAID and seek medical review if you develop reduced urine output, swelling, or unexplained weight gain.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Side Effects of Celeheal<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vaak voorkomend:<\/strong> headache, diarrhoea or constipation, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, rash, mild ankle swelling<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minder vaak voorkomend:<\/strong> hypertension, fluid retention, tinnitus, mild hepatic enzyme rise<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zeldzaam maar ernstig:<\/strong> myocardial infarction, stroke (especially with prolonged use at 400&nbsp;mg\/day), severe skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, TEN), serious GI bleeding, acute kidney injury, severe hepatotoxicity, anaphylaxis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stop Celeheal and seek urgent care if you develop chest pain, sudden-onset weakness\/slurred speech (stroke signs), severe abdominal pain, blood in stools or vomit, or a blistering rash.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bestellen &amp; Levering<\/h2>\n<p>MedsBase biedt wereldwijde verzending voor elke bestelling.

It is not a substitute for advice from your own doctor or pharmacist. NSAIDs have well-documented gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and renal risks &mdash; please talk to a qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing therapy, especially if you have a history of ulcer disease, heart disease, kidney disease, asthma, or are pregnant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"faqs\">Veelgestelde vragen<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Celeheal used for?<\/h3>\n<p>Celeheal (celecoxib) is used for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute pain, and primary dysmenorrhoea. It is the NSAID of choice for patients at higher risk of gastric ulcers.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is celecoxib safer than ibuprofen or diclofenac?<\/h3>\n<p>For the stomach, yes &mdash; significantly lower rates of ulcer and GI bleed. For the heart, celecoxib at moderate doses (200&nbsp;mg\/day) is comparable to ibuprofen and naproxen per the PRECISION trial, but higher doses (400&nbsp;mg\/day) carry more cardiovascular risk. Choice depends on your individual GI and cardiovascular profile.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I take Celeheal if I am allergic to sulfa antibiotics?<\/h3>\n<p>Celecoxib contains a sulphonamide group. Historically this was considered an absolute contraindication; more recent data suggest cross-reactivity with antibiotic sulphonamides is uncommon. Discuss with your doctor before starting &mdash; the decision depends on the nature of your original reaction.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does Celeheal take to work?<\/h3>\n<p>Pain relief typically starts within 60 minutes of an oral dose; peak effect at 3 hours. Anti-inflammatory effect in arthritis builds over 2&ndash;3 weeks of regular dosing.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I take Celeheal long-term?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, for chronic arthritis conditions. Regular review of blood pressure, kidney function, and liver enzymes is recommended. Use the lowest effective dose and reassess at 6&ndash;12 monthly intervals.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I take Celeheal with aspirin?<\/h3>\n<p>Celecoxib does not block COX-1 significantly, so it does not interfere with aspirin&#8217;s cardioprotective effect the way ibuprofen does. Low-dose aspirin can be continued. The combination does, however, raise overall bleed risk &mdash; consider a PPI.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I take Celeheal with paracetamol?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Paracetamol can safely be added for extra pain relief on a different pathway.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Celeheal safe if I have heart disease?<\/h3>\n<p>Use with caution. In established ischaemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, or stroke, naproxen or low-dose ibuprofen are often preferred. Discuss with your cardiologist before starting.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I drink alcohol with Celeheal?<\/h3>\n<p>Light drinking is usually tolerated. Even though the GI risk is lower than with non-selective NSAIDs, heavy drinking still increases bleed risk and should be avoided.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Celeheal safe in pregnancy?<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid after 20 weeks; contraindicated in the third trimester. Celecoxib use in early pregnancy should be under specialist supervision.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I do if I miss a dose of Celeheal?<\/h3>\n<p>Take it when you remember unless your next dose is due within 4 hours &mdash; then skip. Never double up.<\/p>\n<p><!-- medsbase-related-alts-v1 --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gerelateerde alternatieven<\/h3>\n<p>Andere producten in <strong>Chronische aandoeningen<\/strong> die klanten ook bekijken:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/telmaheal\/\">Telmaheal<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/folitrax\/\">Folitrax<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/beloc\/\">Beloc<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/pramirol\/\">Pramirol<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/brufen\/\">Brufen<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2705 Verlicht effectief pijn<br \/>\n\u2705 Reduces inflammation swiftly<br \/>\n\u2705 Beheert symptomen van artritis<br \/>\n\u2705 Eases joint discomfort<br \/>\n\u2705 Minimizes swelling<\/p>\n<p>Celeheal contains Celecoxib.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":56057,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[3141,3223,3555],"product_tag":[4042,4043],"class_list":{"0":"post-56056","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-category-overview","7":"product_cat-chronic-conditions","8":"product_cat-pain-relief-medication","9":"product_tag-celecoxib","10":"product_tag-celeheal","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-variable","17":"has-default-attributes"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/56056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56056"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=56056"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=56056"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=56056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
