NSAID drug NImesulide has proven benefits in the treatment of Acute (short term) pain, Painful osteoarthritis (Swelling in the joints) and Primary dysmennorhea (Period Pains).
Nimesulide is available in various forms like Nimesulide Tablets, Nimesulide Powder, Nimesulide Gell, suppositories etc.
Nimesulide is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide (DMF).
nimesulide is an effective and safe therapeutic choice for the treatment of various painful inflammatory conditions, with a rapid onset of analgesic activity.
Nimesulide is a unique non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that acts specifically on cyclo-oxygenase-2 and does not affect cyclo-oxygenase-1. Hence, it exerts its anti-inflammatory action characteristics of non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Solubility of Nimesulide Increased on solubilization of drug in semi-polar solvents and non-ionic surfactants.
Solubility of Nimesulide was studied using different cosolvent mixtures and various classes of non-ionic surfactant. Solubility increased drastically (>70 mg/rnl) when polyethylene glycol 300 and polyethylene glycol 400 were used as solvents.
The quick dissolving tablets of Nimesulide contains superdisintegrants, that accelerates the disintegration of tablets by virtue of their ability to soak up great deal of water once exposed to binary compound surroundings.
