How does the Drug work
◉Nimesulide 1% gel is a topical anti-inflammatory medication used to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and musculoskeletal injuries. The active ingredient in Nimesulide gel is Nimesulide, which belongs to a group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Nimesulide works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are responsible for causing pain, inflammation, and fever. By blocking their production, Nimesulide helps to reduce pain and inflammation at the site of application
When applied topically, Nimesulide 1% gel is absorbed through the skin and enters the underlying tissues. It then begins to work locally at the site of application, providing targeted relief to the affected area. The gel formulation allows for a targeted application, providing relief precisely where it is needed
It is important to note that Nimesulide 1% gel should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider and should not be used for prolonged periods without medical supervision, as prolonged use of topical NSAIDs can lead to side effects such as skin irritation and allergic reactions.
