Nimesulid
Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily for the treatment of acute pain and inflammation. Available in tablet form, it provides rapid relief from pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders, dental pain, and other acute conditions. Nimesulide works by inhibiting the production of pain-inducing chemicals in the body. It is commonly used for short-term management of pain where traditional over-the-counter pain relievers are insufficient. Its targeted action makes it a preferred choice for acute pain management. Note that Nimesulide is typically prescribed for short durations due to its potent effects.Active substance:
