What Experts Say

Nimesulide is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that preferentially inhibits the COX-2 enzyme over COX-1, which is thought to reduce some of the stomach irritation seen with older, non selective NSAIDs, though it does not eliminate the risk of stomach side effects entirely for every patient who takes it.

In Pakistan it remains a commonly used pain reliever for short courses of musculoskeletal and dental pain, though many countries have restricted its use, especially in children, due to concerns about rare but serious liver injury reported with prolonged or repeated use of the drug over time.

Doctors generally recommend using nimesulide at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed to control the pain, and avoiding it in patients with liver disease or a history of NSAID related stomach problems or ulcers, unless a doctor specifically advises otherwise after reviewing the case.
