Emsulide Nimesulide 100mg Tablets

Nimesulide BP, marketed under the brand name Emsulide, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation. Each tablet contains a specified dose of Nimesulide, commonly used for the treatment of acute pain, osteoarthritis, and primary dysmenorrhea. Nimesulide has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties.

How It Works

Nimesulide works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are lipid compounds that play a key role in inflammation, pain, and fever. By selectively inhibiting COX-2, nimesulide reduces the production of prostaglandins at the site of inflammation, thereby alleviating pain and swelling. Unlike traditional NSAIDs, nimesulide has a lower impact on COX-1, which helps reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.
