Nodard Plus Tablet 10's

Nodard Plus Tablet belongs to a class of painkillers called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used to relieve pain in conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and dysmenorrhea. Besides this, it is also useful for dental pain, muscle pain, back pain, ear pain, and throat pain. 

Nodard Plus Tablet is composed of two medicines: Nimesulide and Paracetamol. Nodard Plus Tablet works by blocking the effect of prostaglandins, a chemical responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in the body. It also lowers the elevated body temperature by promoting heat loss (through sweating), which helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat. Together, Nodard Plus Tablet helps relieve pain.

Take Nodard Plus Tablet exactly as directed by your doctor. The most common side effects of Nodard Plus Tablet are loss of appetite (in case of liver condition), nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, persistent tiredness or dark/discoloured urine. It is not necessary for everyone to experience the above side effects. In case of any discomfort, speak with your doctor.

Do not take Nodard Plus Tablet if you are allergic to painkillers like aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen or diclofenac.

Nodard Plus Tablet comprises nimesulide and paracetamol, primarily used to treat mild to moderate pain. Nodard Plus Tablet is prescribed mainly to treat pain and relieve discomfort caused by conditions like tooth pain, arthritis, period pain and other types of short-term pains. It helps treat pain by blocking the chemical messenger in the brain responsible for causing fever, pain and inflammation. Nimesulide works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our body. On the other hand, Paracetamol lowers the elevated body temperature and mild pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis by promoting heat loss (through sweating) that helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat. Paracetamol has the advantage of producing less gastric irritation than other painkillers like aspirin.

• In chronic arthritis or joint pain conditions, fish like salmon, trout, tuna and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that minimize chemical cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.
• Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short time. Long-term immobility is harmful in conditions like arthritis. Use back support like a rolled-up towel to minimise pain at the back of your spine curve. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle.

Pain: Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic) in nature. Acute pain is, for a short time, caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone or organs. At the same time, chronic pain lasts for a longer duration; it is caused by pathologies like nerve damage, osteoarthritis and dental pain due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction or injury. Many women have painful periods known as dysmenorrhea, most often menstrual cramps. On the other hand, osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that results in chronic pain in joints (especially the knee) and stiffness, making daily tasks difficult.
