Description
Nimesulide and Paracetamol Tablets– The medication is a combination of a Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug(NSAID) and an analgesic that effectively relieves moderate pain, fever, and inflammation from conditions such as arthritis, muscle pain, dental pain, and menstrual cramps. Combining two well-established pain-relief ingredients enhances effectiveness and patient comfort. Nimesulide reduces pain by blocking the production of prostaglandins at the site of injury. Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that works mainly on the central nervous system to lower fever and pain perception.
Paracetamol inhibits prostaglandin synthesis in the brain. It helps reset the body’s temperature control centre to reduce fever. The tablets are commonly prescribed and widely used in medical practice due to their complementary mechanisms of action that provide effective relief. The combination tablet is more convenient for patients than taking two separate medicines. However, the formulation is effective when used as prescribed, but should always be taken under medical supervision.
