Nimesulide Dosage:
  • Adults: 100 mg twice daily
  • Children: 5mg/kg of body weight in 2 or 3 divided doses.
The minimum effective dose should be used for the shortest duration to reduce the undesirable effects.
The maximum duration of a treatment course with Nimesulide is 15 days.
Nimesulide 100mg Tablets/granules should be used for the shortest possible duration, as required by the clinical situation.
Adults:
100mg bid after meal.
Elderly:
In elderly patients there is no need to reduce the daily dosage
Children (< 12 years):
Nimesulide 100mg Tablets/granules is contraindicated in these patients.

on the basis of the kinetic profile in adults and on the pharmacodynamic characteristics of nimesulide, no dosage adjustment in these patients is necessary.
