Product information

What Nise Tablet is used for

• Short-term relief of acute pain
• Painful osteoarthritis flare-ups

How it works

Nimesulide is a selective COX-2 inhibitor. It reduces the prostaglandins responsible for pain and inflammation with somewhat less effect on the stomach lining than older NSAIDs.

Common side effects

• Heartburn and stomach discomfort
• Nausea
• Diarrhoea
• Dizziness
• Rash

Most side effects are mild and settle as your body adjusts. Tell your doctor if any of them persist or trouble you.

Safety advice

Quick tips

• Do not take it for more than 15 days, and never give it to a child
• Stop at once and see a doctor if you develop yellowing of the eyes, dark urine or unusual tiredness
• Paracetamol is the safer first choice for ordinary fever and pain
