NIMEGESIC IR TABLET belongs to a class of painkillers called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) used to treat pain and dysmenorrhea (painful periods or menstrual cramps). Besides this, it is also used to treat dental pain, which can occur due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction, or injury.
NIMEGESIC IR TABLET contains Nimesulide which works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in the body.
