Нимесулид

Описание

Nimesulide is a relatively COX-2 selective, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and antipyretic properties. It is indicated for the treatment of acute pain, symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis and primary dysmenorrhoea in adolescents and adults. However, due to the risk of causing hepatotoxicity, it should not be taken long-term. It has also been withdrawn from the markets in many countries. It mechanism of action is through targeting on various key mediators in the inflammatory process such as COX-2 mediated prostaglandins, free radicals, proteolytic enzymes and histamine.
