Nimtec P 50mg/125mg Oral Suspension belongs to a class of painkillers called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Pain can be temporary (acute) or long-lasting (chronic). Acute pain is caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone or other organs for a short time. In contrast, chronic pain lasts for a long duration and is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc. Besides this, it is also useful for dental pain, which can occur due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction or injury.

Nimtec P 50mg/125mg Oral Suspension is composed of two medicines: Nimesulide and Paracetamol. Together it relieves symptoms of arthritis, dysmenorrhea (painful periods or menstrual cramps) and reduce fever. Nimesulide is known to have an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect for easing mild to moderate pain. It works by blocking the effect of a prostaglandin chemical responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our bodies. Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic and antipyretic (fever reducer). It lowers the elevated body temperature and mild pain by inhibiting the synthesis of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and promoting heat loss (through sweating) that helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat. Together it helps in reducing mild to moderate pain in a shorter duration.

Nimtec P 50mg/125mg Oral Suspension is prescribed mainly to treat pain and relieve discomfort caused by conditions like tooth pain, arthritis, period pain and other types of short-term pains.

Paracetamol has the advantage of producing less gastric irritation than other painkillers like aspirin.

• Include more glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, vitamin D, and calcium-enriched supplements. Besides this, turmeric and fish oils can help reduce inflammation in the tissue.
• Please do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching low,, impact aerobic exercises like walking on a treadmill, bike riding and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscles by lifting light weights.
• In chronic arthritis or joint pain conditions, fish like salmon, trout, tuna and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that minimize chemical cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.
• Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short time. Long-term immobility is harmful in conditions like arthritis. Use back support like a rolled-up towel to minimise pain at the back of your spine curve. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can also use a footrest if required.

Pain: Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic) in nature. Acute pain is for a short time caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone or organs. At the same time, chronic pain lasts for longer duration; it is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, osteoarthritis and dental pain due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction or injury. Many women have painful periods known as dysmenorrhea, most often menstrual cramps. On the other hand, osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that results in chronic pain in joints (especially the knee) and stiffness making daily tasks difficult.
