What is Cobix-200?
Cobix works by reducing and blocking certain natural substances that cause inflammation and pain in the body. The active ingredient is considered a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) type of medication. The medication is mainly prescribed to relieve stiffness, tenderness, swelling and pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Some patients may also use the capsules to treat gout attacks.
How is Cobix-200 used?
Cobix should be taken as directed by a doctor, usually 1 to 2 times per day. Take the capsules with a meal and a full glass of water or a glass of milk to prevent an upset stomach.

The capsules can be opened and sprinkled into a spoonful of applesauce for consumption if the patient cannot swallow the capsule whole.
