What Experts Say
Nimesulide works mainly by inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme, which lowers production of prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling and fever. This selective action gives it a relatively lower risk of stomach irritation compared with older non-selective NSAIDs, though it still affects the gut lining to some degree.
Clinicians generally reserve nimesulide for short term use, usually not longer than 10 to 15 days, because of documented links to liver injury in a small number of users. Regulatory reviews in several countries have restricted its use in children and in people with pre-existing liver disease for this reason.
Because nimesulide can affect kidney blood flow and liver enzyme levels, doctors usually recommend the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible period, along with periodic liver function monitoring during extended courses. It should not be combined with other NSAIDs or excess alcohol.
