Side Effects:

Nimesulide is generally effective for short-term pain relief, but it can cause some side effects, particularly with prolonged use.

  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Stomach pain or discomfort
  • Dizziness or drowsiness

• Serious Side Effects:

  • Liver Toxicity: Nimesulide has been associated with liver damage in some cases. Symptoms may include yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, or severe stomach pain.
  • Kidney Problems: Prolonged use can lead to kidney dysfunction.
  • Gastrointestinal Issues: It may cause stomach ulcers, bleeding, or perforation, particularly in elderly patients.
  • Allergic Reactions: In rare cases, it may cause allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

Precautions:

1. Liver Function: Due to its potential to cause liver damage, nimesulide is usually prescribed for short-term use (no longer than 15 days). Liver function should be monitored if it is used for longer periods.

2. Kidney and Heart Problems: If you have a history of kidney or heart conditions, consult your healthcare provider before using Nem tablets.

3. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Nimesulide is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, especially in the third trimester, as it may harm the fetus or newborn.

4. Avoid Long-Term Use: This medication is intended for short-term use due to its risk of liver toxicity and other serious side effects. Avoid prolonged use unless instructed by your doctor.

5. Alcohol and Smoking: Combining alcohol with nimesulide increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and liver damage. Smoking can also exacerbate these risks.

6. Drug Interactions: Nimesulide can interact with other medications, such as blood thinners (e.g., warfarin), other NSAIDs, and medications affecting liver function. Always inform your doctor about any other drugs or supplements you are taking.
