🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine combines two pain-relieving and fever-reducing agents. Nimesulide selectively inhibits the cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme, which reduces the production of prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and fever. Paracetamol acts mainly in the brain to reduce fever and pain through effects on the central nervous system. Together, they provide relief from pain and fever through complementary mechanisms.
