How Nimesulide 100mg and Paracetamol 325mg Tablets works
Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which reduces the production of prostaglandins – chemicals responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is an analgesic and antipyretic that acts centrally in the brain to reduce pain and fever, though its exact mechanism is not fully understood. Together, they provide enhanced pain relief and fever reduction.
