Individuals should not take Pcoxib Capsule if they are allergic to polmacoxib or other NSAIDs, have active stomach or intestinal bleeding or ulcers, severe liver or kidney disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe heart disease, or soon after heart bypass surgery. Your doctor will screen for these risks first.

Yes. Pcoxib Capsule can cause fluid retention, raise blood pressure, worsen kidney function, and affect liver tests. Your doctor may monitor blood pressure, kidney function, and liver enzymes during treatment.
