Nimesulide (100mg)
Nimesulide (100mg) in the Nimulid Tablet is a commonly prescribed NSAID used to treat pain and inflammation. It is effective for musculoskeletal pain, joint pain, headaches, and fever. Nimesulide works by blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which reduces the production of prostaglandins, thereby relieving pain and inflammation.
While effective, Nimulid is associated with potential gastrointestinal and liver-related side effects, particularly with long-term use. Patients should avoid excessive alcohol consumption and take the medication with food to reduce stomach irritation. Nimulid is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation due to potential harm to the baby.
