Adverse Reactions |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
The most likely adverse effects of nimesulide (in NIMCET Plus) include gastrointestinal disturbances
(epigastric pain, heartburn, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting), skin reactions (rash, pruritus) and central nervous effects (dizziness, somnolence, headache).
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Nimesulide (in Nimcet plus) has been well tolerated by patients with asthma, and those hypersensitive
to aspirin, or having a history of intolerance to other NSAIDs. NIMCET Plus can cause transient increase
in liver enzymes; with higher than recommended dosages, renal toxicity can result.

|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Drug Interaction |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Nimesulide (in NIMCET Plus) should be coadministered with caution alongwith salicyclic acid, fenofibrate,
valproic acid, tolbutamide, methotrexate, warfarin, theophylline and frusemide.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Absorption of paracetamol from NIMCET Plus is increased by concomitant metoclopramide, and such
other agents. Probenecid can decrease it's clearance, whilst cholestyramine diminishes absorption of
paracetamol (in NIMCET Plus) when coadministered.
