Description
Sumo Tablet is a combination pain-relieving medicine used to treat mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. It is effective for different types of pain, including back pain, headache, toothache, ear pain, joint pain, muscle pain, and menstrual cramps. In addition to pain relief, it helps in controlling fever caused by infections or other conditions. By targeting both pain and fever, Sumo Tablet provides quick and effective symptom relief for various short-term discomforts.
The medicine contains two active ingredients, paracetamol and nimesulide. Paracetamol works by blocking pain signals in the brain and reducing fever through its action on the brain’s temperature-regulating centre. Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the production of prostaglandins, chemicals responsible for pain, swelling, and inflammation in the body. Together, they offer a dual action, reducing both the sensation of pain and the underlying inflammation.
Other medicines that contain the same combination include Nodard Plus tablet, Nobel Plus, Nicip plus tablet and Nimsaid P. Although these brands work in a similar way, your doctor will recommend one based on availability, pricing, and your personal response to treatment. Regardless of the brand, the dosage and duration should always be followed as per medical advice to avoid unwanted side effects.
Common side effects of Sumo Tablet may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and elevated liver enzymes. These are usually mild and temporary, but if they worsen or persist, you should contact your doctor. 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.
Sumo Tablet should be taken exactly as directed by your doctor, in the prescribed dose and for the recommended duration. It is usually advised to take it with food to reduce stomach 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 cause other complications. For best results, follow your doctor’s advice and inform them about any other medicines or supplements you are taking.
