What is Cobix 100mg?
Cobix 100mg is a generic celecoxib capsule made by Cipla, one of India’s largest drug manufacturers. Each capsule contains 100 mg of celecoxib, the same active ingredient as Celebrex.
Doctors use it for arthritis pain and stiffness and for short courses of pain relief after injuries, dental work or menstrual cramps. The 100 mg capsule lets you take a lower dose, or split the daily dose into two.
How Celecoxib Works
Pain and swelling after an injury, or in an arthritic joint, are driven largely by chemicals called prostaglandins. Your body makes them using two enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-2 is switched on at the site of inflammation; COX-1 also helps protect the stomach lining and keeps platelets working.
Celecoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor. It blocks mainly COX-2, so it reduces pain and inflammation with a lower risk of stomach ulcers than older NSAIDs such as naproxen or diclofenac. The risk is lower, not zero, and selective COX-2 inhibitors carry the same warnings about heart attack and stroke as other NSAIDs.
How to Take Cobix 100mg
- For osteoarthritis, a common regimen is one capsule twice a day or two capsules once a day (200 mg a day in total).
- For acute pain or period pain, doctors sometimes prescribe a higher first dose, then 200 mg a day — follow your prescription.
- Take with a full glass of water, with or without food.
- Do not take more than your prescribed daily dose, and do not combine it with other anti-inflammatories.
If you are over 65, have mild liver problems, or weigh less than about 110 lb (50 kg), a 100 mg dose is usually the place to start.

Side Effects
Most people take celecoxib without trouble. Side effects are more likely at higher doses and with long-term use.
Common and usually mild:
- Indigestion, stomach pain or heartburn
- Diarrhea or gas
- Headache or dizziness
- Swelling of the ankles
- Sore throat or blocked nose
Stop and get medical help right away if you have:
- Black, tarry or bloody stools, or vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds — signs of stomach bleeding.
- Chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness on one side of the body or slurred speech — NSAIDs can raise the risk of heart attack and stroke.
- Swelling of the face, lips or throat, wheezing, or a widespread rash — a possible allergic reaction.
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes, or dark urine — possible liver problems.
- Passing much less urine than usual, or swelling of the legs and ankles.
Who Should Not Take It
Do not use Cobix if you:
- Are allergic to celecoxib, or have had asthma, hives or a reaction after taking aspirin or any other NSAID.
- Have an active stomach ulcer or bleeding in the stomach or bowel, or have had one in the past.
- Have severe heart failure, or are about to have (or have just had) heart bypass surgery.
- Have severe kidney or liver disease.
- Are in the last three months of pregnancy.
- Are allergic to sulfonamide (“sulfa”) medicines — celecoxib contains a sulfonamide group.
Talk to a doctor first if you:
- Have heart disease, high blood pressure or have had a stroke, or smoke.
- Take a blood thinner (warfarin, apixaban, clopidogrel), low-dose aspirin, an SSRI antidepressant, steroids, lithium, methotrexate, or a blood-pressure medicine such as an ACE inhibitor, ARB or diuretic.
- Are over 65, drink alcohol regularly, or have had stomach problems in the past.
- Are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding.
Do not take two NSAIDs together — that includes over-the-counter ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin. Use the lowest dose that controls your pain for the shortest time.
Please consult your doctor before using this medicine.
