Nimesil - a description of the drug

Nimesil - is a synthetic drug whose main active ingredient is nimesulide. Nimesulide is a class of non-steroidal agents with a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. The chemical name of nimesulide is methanesulfonamide, which indicates its belonging to the group of sulfonamides. To understand how this substance acts, it is necessary to represent the essence of the inflammatory process.

In the cells of our body every minute there is a lot of reactions. At the onset of the disease, arachidonic acid, released from the cell membranes, turns into prostaglandins, which trigger a cascade of inflammatory reactions( pain, redness of the skin, swelling, fever) and further support the pathological process.

Nimesulide is able to stop the synthesis of prostaglandins and stop the further development of the inflammatory process, as a result of which the symptoms of inflammation disappear. Nimesil favorably differs from the first-generation anti-inflammatory drugs( aspirin, diclofenac, ibuprofen) in that it does not have a pronounced adverse effect on the gastric mucosa, except that it rarely causes allergic reactions and can be used in persons who are excessively sensitive in other NSAIDs.

Review No. 1

I have long been suffering from joint pain. At me an arthrosis of 3rd degree and constantly legs or foots in an ankle and a knee joint hurt. I move with difficulty, it is necessary to go out and get to the nearest store, how strong attacks of pain begin.

I'm saving Nimesil. If I accept it, I feel much better, I can walk during the day. This drug has a lot of contraindications, but it suits me, In spite of the fact that I have hypertension, there were no side effects yet. True, the medication is quite expensive and it can not be taken for a long time, so I am treated with courses when it becomes very bad.

Review No. 2

Nimesil resorted to help at the time of acute toothache. I have been going to the dentist for a long time, but all the time I was hindered by some sort of business, and I was delaying this moment as I could, as I am afraid of dentists since childhood. And then the tooth was very badly ill, the gum was swollen, there was no escape from the sharp, twitching pain. On the advice of a friend, she took Nimesil. Pleased with a convenient form, the tablet would be difficult for me to take, because it hurt even to open my mouth, but the suspension is much easier to drink.

The powder is easily and quickly diluted, the resulting solution is quite pleasant to the taste. Soon after the reception I felt a great relief, the pain receded. The truth began to hurt your head, the night was over, and the next morning rushed to the dentist. So, that as an anesthetic and anti-inflammatory drug the drug justifies itself.

Review No. 3

Recently caught a bad cold, blown me on the river. Against this background, osteochondrosis was played out. Strong pains began, from which I could not sleep at night. At the reception the doctor advised the drug Nimesil, saying that it is more effective than other anti-inflammatory drugs, in particular Diclofenac.

The medicine in the form of a powder, which must be diluted with water, results in a suspension, the taste is quite pleasant. After he started taking the drug, there was nausea, weakness and dizziness, pressure dropped sharply. I read the instructions to the drug and realized that the side effects from it are much greater than the benefits of treatment. Refused this money, sorry for the money thrown out is not the wind, the drug is quite expensive.
