How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Nimsid P works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Paracetamol reduces pain and fever, while Nimesulide helps decrease inflammation and swelling.
The mechanism of action involves the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which play a key role in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are substances that mediate inflammation and pain. By reducing their production, Nimsid P effectively alleviates pain and lowers fever.
