NIPTAS GOLD TAB

Uses of NIPTAS GOLD TAB

NIPTAS GOLD TAB is prescribed for a variety of conditions where pain, fever, and inflammation are prominent symptoms. It offers effective relief and helps improve patient comfort.

• Pain Relief

  NIPTAS GOLD TAB is highly effective in alleviating various types of pain, including headaches, migraines, dental pain, post-operative pain, and musculoskeletal pain such as sprains and strains. Its dual action targets both the inflammatory and central pain pathways, providing comprehensive relief. This makes it a preferred choice for acute pain management in many clinical settings across India.

• Fever Reduction

  This medication is also indicated for reducing fever associated with various illnesses, including the common cold, flu, and other infections. Paracetamol, a key component, acts on the brain's thermoregulatory center to bring down elevated body temperature, helping patients feel more comfortable during febrile episodes. It provides rapid relief from fever symptoms.

• Inflammation Management

  Due to the presence of Nimesulide, NIPTAS GOLD TAB is beneficial in reducing inflammation, swelling, and stiffness associated with conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory disorders. It helps to decrease the production of inflammatory mediators, thereby reducing discomfort and improving mobility. This anti-inflammatory action complements its pain-relieving effects.

Side Effects of NIPTAS GOLD TAB

Like all medications, NIPTAS GOLD TAB can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Most side effects are mild and temporary, but some can be serious. If any side effect persists or worsens, seek immediate medical attention.

Less common but potentially serious side effects require prompt medical evaluation:

It is important to report any unusual or severe symptoms to your doctor immediately. Do not discontinue the medication without consulting your healthcare provider.

How to use NIPTAS GOLD TAB

• Adults:

  Typically, one NIPTAS GOLD TAB (Nimesulide 100mg + Paracetamol 325mg) can be taken orally, twice daily after meals, or as directed by a physician. The dosage should not exceed two tablets in 24 hours. It is crucial to follow the doctor's instructions regarding the duration of treatment to minimize potential side effects.

• Children:

  Nimesulide is generally not recommended for children under 12 years of age in India due to concerns regarding potential liver toxicity. For pediatric pain and fever, consult a pediatrician for appropriate and safer alternatives. Self-medication in children should be strictly avoided.

• Elderly:

  Elderly patients may require a reduced dosage due to potential age-related decline in kidney and liver function. Close monitoring for adverse effects is recommended. Always consult a doctor for personalized dosage adjustments and to assess suitability, especially if co-morbidities exist.

• Missed Dose:

  If you miss a dose of NIPTAS GOLD TAB, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to compensate for a missed one, as this can increase the risk of side effects.

How NIPTAS GOLD TAB works

NIPTAS GOLD TAB works through the combined action of its two active ingredients. Nimesulide, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, primarily acts by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemical messengers responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. By inhibiting COX-2, Nimesulide reduces inflammatory responses with potentially fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to non-selective NSAIDs. Paracetamol, on the other hand, exerts its analgesic and antipyretic effects mainly by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). It also acts on the thermoregulatory center in the hypothalamus to reduce fever. The combination of Nimesulide and Paracetamol in NIPTAS GOLD TAB provides a dual mechanism of action, ensuring comprehensive relief from pain, fever, and inflammation.

Precautions

• Do not exceed the recommended dosage or duration of treatment.
• Inform your doctor if you have a history of liver or kidney disease.
• Exercise caution if you have a history of stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, or asthma.
• Avoid concurrent use with other NSAIDs or paracetamol-containing products.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including herbal supplements.
• Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women without strict medical supervision.

Safety Advice

Alcohol

UNSAFE

Consumption of alcohol while taking NIPTAS GOLD TAB is unsafe. It can significantly increase the risk of liver damage, especially due to the presence of Paracetamol and Nimesulide, both of which can affect liver function. Avoid alcohol entirely during treatment.

Pregnancy

UNSAFE

NIPTAS GOLD TAB is generally considered unsafe during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, due to the Nimesulide component which can harm the developing fetus and complicate delivery. Always consult your doctor before taking this medication if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy.

Breastfeeding

CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR

The components of NIPTAS GOLD TAB may pass into breast milk and could potentially harm a nursing infant. It is advisable to consult your doctor before using this medication while breastfeeding to weigh the benefits against the potential risks.

Driving

CAUTION

NIPTAS GOLD TAB may cause side effects such as dizziness or drowsiness in some individuals. If you experience these symptoms, it is advisable to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you.

Kidney

CAUTION

Patients with pre-existing kidney conditions should use NIPTAS GOLD TAB with caution. Nimesulide, an NSAID, can affect kidney function. Regular monitoring of kidney parameters may be necessary. Always consult your doctor for dose adjustments or alternative options.

Liver

UNSAFE

NIPTAS GOLD TAB should be used with extreme caution or avoided in patients with liver disease. Both Nimesulide and Paracetamol can cause liver damage, especially with prolonged use or overdose. Regular liver function tests are recommended. Consult your doctor for guidance.
