In this review it is shown that nimesulide, a selective cyclooxigenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, is different from other selective COX-2 inhibitors and classical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The anti-inflammatory effect mechanism of nimesulide (inhibition of inflammatory mediators) is similar to other

International journal of clinical practice. Supplement, (128)(128), 30-36 (2002-08-09)
Nimesulide, similar to other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), has been associated with rare and unpredictable but serious hepatic adverse reactions. The low incidence (about 0.1 case per 100,000 treated patients, no more than with most other NSAIDs), estimated from the

The first marketing authorization for nimesulide was approved in Italy in 1985. After one quarter of a century we evaluate its peculiar characteristics compared with other NSAIDs. Nimesulide is the only NSAID related to the arylsulfonamide class and is a

This paper summarises the outcome from a consensus meeting, held in Rome on 5 October 2005, that aimed to review the state of the art regarding the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) nimesulide, with reference to its chemical, pharmacokinetic, pharmacological and

Nimesulide is a preferential inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and it is one of the most prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) worldwide. Nimesulide was recently shown to have neuroprotective properties in animal models of acute neurologic injury. In particular, nimesulide is
