NIMOSET-P is a combination of two well- established drugs: nimesulide and paracetamol.

NIMESULIDE

Nimesulide is an NSAID. However, unlike, other NSAIDs, the chemical structure of nimesulide does not
contain a carboxylic group but a sulfonanilide moiety as the acidic group. It is an analgesic and antipyretic in
action, apart from its anti inflammatory action.

The anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities of Nimesulide, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drug (NSAID) of the sulfonanilide class, have been demonstrated in a number of experimental models and in
numerous clinical trials.

Nimesulide appears to exert its therapeutic effects through a variety of mechanisms viz :

-> Selective cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor
-> Inhibition of generation of superoxide anions from stimulated polymorphonuclear leucocytes.
-> Inhibition of platelet activating factor synthesis
-> Prevention of Bradykinin/Cytokine induced hyperalgesia of nerves(Inhibiting release of TNF-a
-> Scavenging of hypochlorous acid
-> Blocking of histamine release
-> Prevention of cartilage damage by inhibition of metalloprotease synthesis
-> Phosphodiesterase type IV inhibition.

PARACETAMOL

Paracetamol is a peripherally acting analgesic and is well absorbed orally. Paracetamol prodiaces analgesia
by elevation of the pain threshold and antipyresis through action on the hypothalamic regulating center.
