What is Elyxyb?

Since 1998, the drug has been sold in capsule form (Celebrex); however, in 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will approve Elyxyb orally administered solution.
Elyxyr oral solution is created with a self-microemulsifying delivery system that allows celecoxib's absorption to be improved and to work more efficiently.
