🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine combines two active ingredients with complementary mechanisms. Nimesulide selectively inhibits the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, reducing the production of prostaglandins that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. Paracetamol acts primarily in the central nervous system to reduce pain and fever, with weak anti-inflammatory effects. Together, they provide enhanced analgesic and antipyretic effects.
