NIMODOL TABLET

NIMODOL TABLET belongs to a class of painkillers called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) used to treat pain and dysmenorrhea (painful periods or menstrual cramps). Besides this, it is also used to treat dental pain, which can occur due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction, or injury. 

NIMODOL TABLET contains Nimesulide, which works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in the body.

Take NIMODOL TABLET as prescribed. Like all medicines, NIMODOL TABLET may cause common side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, changes in liver enzymes, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Do not take NIMODOL TABLET if you are allergic to any of its components. It is not recommended for use in children, people with liver disease, heart disease, and gastric ulcers/bleeding problems. NIMODOL TABLET may affect fertility and can pass in milk. The use of NIMODOL TABLET should be avoided in pregnant and nursing mothers. Inform your doctor if you have heart problems, as it may increase the risk of heart attack (myocardial infarction).

Chronic pain lasts for longer duration; it is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, osteoarthritis, and dental pain due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction, or injury.
