Sumo tablet is a combination analgesic and antipyretic medication containing two active ingredients: nimesulide, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and paracetamol, a pain-relieving and fever-reducing agent. It is a non-steroidal medication with dual action, reducing pain and addressing underlying inflammation. Sumo is indicated for the short-term management of mild to moderate pain (back pain, headache, toothache, ear pain, joint pain, muscle pain, and menstrual cramps) and fever. By targeting both pain and fever, Sumo Tablet provides quick and effective symptom relief for various short-term discomforts.
Sumo tablet works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation in the body. Paracetamol works centrally by blocking pain signals in the brain and reducing fever by acting on the brain’s temperature-regulating centre.
Other medicines that contain the same combination include Nodard Plus tablet, Nobel Plus, Nicip plus tablet and Nimsaid P. Although these brands work similarly, your doctor will recommend one based on availability, pricing, and your personal response to treatment. Regardless of the brand, follow the dosage and duration as advised by your doctor to avoid unwanted side effects.
Common side effects of Sumo Tablet may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, though not everyone experiences them. Neurological: Some individuals may experience drowsiness or dizziness. Long-term Risks: Prolonged use may lead to stomach and intestinal ulcers and an increased risk of heart disease
Since both paracetamol and Nimesulide can affect the liver, patients with liver disease or those who consume alcohol regularly should use this medicine with caution. Your doctor may recommend certain precautions or monitoring to reduce the risk of side effects. Treatment must stop if symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, or dark urine develop. Sumo Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, in the correct dose and for the recommended duration.
The medication must be taken with food to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal irritation. Taking it at the same time each day can help maintain consistent pain relief. Avoid skipping doses, and do not take more than the prescribed amount, as excessive use can harm the liver or lead to other complications. For best results, follow your doctor’s advice and inform them about any other medications or supplements you are using.

Doctor’s suggestion
Directions for use
Storage and disposal
- Store Sumo tablets in a cool and dry place.
- Keep it out of reach of the children and pets.
Quick tips
- Please do not take more than the daily prescribed dose of Sumo tablet, as it contains paracetamol and Nimesulide; taking in excess (15 consecutive days) can affect the liver or kidney.
- Use it for the shortest possible period. Nimesulide is associated with serious liver injury, which is why it is restricted to short courses and is not a first-choice painkiller.
- Stop the tablet and seek medical attention if you notice yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, pale stools, persistent nausea, loss of appetite, or pain in the upper right abdomen. These suggest liver injury and can appear without warning.
- Do not give it to anyone under 12 years of age.
- Avoid alcohol while taking it, as it adds substantially to the risk of liver injury and stomach bleeding.
- Do not combine it with another anti-inflammatory painkiller or with a separate paracetamol product, as this tablet already contains paracetamol and the doses add up.
- Tell your doctor before taking it if you have liver disease, kidney disease, heart failure, high blood pressure or a history of stomach ulcer, or if you take a blood thinner or a diuretic.
Dosage
Overdose
- Symptoms of an overdose of Sumo tablet may include nausea, vomiting, stomach disturbances, skin rashes, chills, fever, etc. More severe signs of paracetamol toxicity include pallor, malaise, and diaphoresis, which may lead to liver necrosis and hepatic failure within 48 to 72 hours. If an overdose is suspected, seek emergency medical help immediately.
- Treatment may involve N-acetylcysteine as an antidote for the paracetamol component. Note that Nimesulide is highly protein-bound and is not dialyzable in case of overdose. Always carry the package of the tablet along with you for easy assessment of the severity of an overdose.
