Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)
Nimesulide
Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic (COX-2 Selective)
A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that preferentially inhibits COX-2, reducing inflammation and pain with a potentially better gastric safety profile than non-selective NSAIDs. It is widely used in India for acute pain and primary dysmenorrhea, though its regulatory status varies globally due to potential hepatotoxicity risks.
