Product Description

Nimesulide 100 mg & Paracetamol 325 mg Tablet is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) combination used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation and fever. It is commonly used for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain), dental pain, muscle pain, back pain, ear pain, and throat pain.

This tablet contains two active ingredients: Nimesulide and Paracetamol. Nimesulide works by blocking prostaglandins, chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation. Paracetamol reduces fever by promoting heat loss through sweating and also inhibits prostaglandin production in the brain, helping to relieve mild to moderate pain. Together, they provide effective pain relief and fever reduction.
