MESULID (NIMESULIDE)

Mesulid Information

Mesulid is a popular medicine that is also commonly known under the generic name of Nimesulide. This drug belongs to a wide class of medicines called  anti-inflammatory nonsteroidal drugs (NSAID). NSAIDs are well known  for their anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. What makes Mesulid different from the other NSAIDs is that this drug’s functional acidic group is a sulfonanilide. This enables Nimesulide to effectively and rapidly provide the relief of inflammation and pain symptoms that are usually associated with a large variety of medical conditions. This medicine has proven itself to be highly effective especially in the treatment of patients who have not adequately responded to other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines or to extremely sensitive patients who have gastric-intolerance or NSAID-intolerance.

Mesulid Indications

Mesulid is usually prescribed for an average short-term treatment in the case of patients who are suffering from any of the following medical conditions: painful extra-articular medical disorders; symptomatic Osteoarthritis; post-operative dental inflammation and pain; primary dysmenorrheal, etc. However, if you have any doubts regarding why you have been prescribed to start taking this medicine, you should ask your personal physician, because Mesulid can be given to treat or to prevent some other disorders that have not been listed here.
