What Experts Say

Nimesulide blocks enzymes that produce pain and inflammation signals in the body, giving relief within an hour or two.

It is taken after meals to reduce stomach irritation, and treatment is meant to be short term, not for daily long term pain control.

The most important safety point is a documented risk of serious liver injury, which is why nimesulide is banned or restricted in many countries and should never be used beyond 15 days or in anyone with liver disease.
