Sulide-100

Sulide-100 Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Sulide-100 is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic, and analgesic properties. It inhibits prostaglandin synthetase/cyclooxygenase, which limits prostaglandin production. Its cyclooxygenase inhibiting potency is intermediate, but is relatively selective for the cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) thus the potential for gastric injury and intolerance is less. It is also a free radical scavenger, and helps protect against the tissue damage that occurs during inflammation.

Food, gender and advanced age have negligible effects on nimesulide pharmacokinetics.
