Description

Nimulid 100 MG Tablet is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID) that contains Nimesulide as an active ingredient. It is used to treat pain and fever. It provides relief from mild to moderate pain due to menstrual cramps and osteoarthritis. It decreases the intensity of pain signals to the brain and also prevents the release of substances called prostaglandins in the brain that cause pain and fever. Nimulid 100 MG Tablet may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, loss of appetite, and diarrhoea. Consult your doctor if these side effects persist. Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to it. Nimulid 100 MG Tablet is not recommended for use in children below 12 years of age as safety is not established. Nimulid 100 MG Tablet should be taken with food to avoid stomach irritation. For the ease of remembering, take it at around the same time every day. Nimulid 100 MG Tablet relieves pain and swelling due to arthritic conditions but does not cure it. Use it cautiously if you have liver and/or kidney problems. It should not be used for prolonged periods due to the risk of severe liver damage. Consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
