abstract:
Conclusions: In comparison with conventional NSAIDs (with COX-1 as well as COX-2 inhibitory effects) and the coxibs, nimesulide has been shown in a large number of studies to be equivalent to, or in some cases more effective in relieving pain and inflammatory signs and symptoms. Recent evidence suggesting that nimesulide may have fast onset of action in acute pain may be an advantage for the drug in certain clinical situations. Nimesulide has proven to be an effective drug in comparison with other NSAIDs including the coxibs.
