Nimesulide BP

Nimesulide is a relatively COX-2 selective, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain killer drug(NSAID) prescribed for treatment of acute pain, Primary dysmennorhea and degenerative joint disease.

This medicine has potent analgesic, anti pyretic and anti-inflammatory activity on oral & rectal administration.

Nimesulide BP 100mg prevents the release of prostaglandins which is responsible for inflammation, pain & fever.
