Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Nimesulide helps relieve pain and swelling by blocking certain natural substances in the body called prostaglandins that cause inflammation. It works by targeting an enzyme called COX-2, which is involved in producing these substances during injury or illness. By reducing prostaglandins, nimesulide can ease symptoms like muscle aches, joint pain, or swelling, helping you feel more comfortable....
