Question
Why isn’t Nimezulide present in any of your lists of drugs ? Is it true that You don’t aknowledge it as a specific COX-2 inhibitor?
Answer
Nimesulide, a sulphonanilide derivative, is not considered a mainstream NSAID as it is not available in the top markets like USA, Japan, Germany, UK, Canada.
However, there is no convincing clinical evidence from well-controlled double blind comparative trials that nimesulide is better tolerated or more effective or has faster onset of action than diclofenac, naproxen, piroxicam or ibuprofen on the GI tract or more selective COX 2 inhibitor than other NSAID.
