Product Information

Description
Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that functions through a multi-step mechanism of action. First, it inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, compounds that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin production, nimesulide effectively decreases inflammation and alleviates pain. It also exhibits some selective action on COX-2, minimizing gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with other NSAIDs. Nimesulide is particularly useful in treating acute pain, osteoarthritis, and dysmenorrhea.
