How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Nimgl 100mg/325mg Tablet works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Paracetamol reduces pain and fever, while Nimesulide specifically targets inflammation, providing a dual action for relief.
The pharmacological mechanism involves the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the formation of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are compounds that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing their levels, this medication helps alleviate these symptoms effectively.
