NEDOLIDE-MD

Description

NEDOLIDE-MD is a prescription mouth-dissolving tablet containing Nimesulide 100 mg, supplied in blister packaging. It is designed for rapid relief of mild to moderate pain, inflammation, and fever in adults, providing quick onset of action and ease of administration for those with difficulty swallowing conventional tablets.

How it Works

Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the production of prostaglandins by selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX), thereby reducing pain, swelling, and fever. The mouth-dissolving format allows quick absorption, ideal for acute pain relief.
