| Description |
It is an analgesic and antipyretic
in action, apart from its anti inflammatory action.
Unlike other NSAID’s, the chemical structure
of nimesulide does not contain a carboxylic group
but a sulfonanilide moiety as the acidic group. It
is absorbed rapidly and completely after oral administration.
It acts by inhibiting the release of tumour necrosis
factor-alpha, acts as a competitive inhibitor of histamine
release and reduces superoxide anion formation.
