NIPTAS-S TAB

Uses of NIPTAS-S TAB

NIPTAS-S TAB is prescribed for a variety of conditions requiring relief from pain, inflammation, and fever. It is commonly used for:

• Acute Pain Relief

  Effectively manages various types of acute pain, including musculoskeletal pain, sprains, strains, and low back pain. The combination targets both the inflammatory component and the pain sensation, providing rapid and sustained relief.

• Fever (Pyrexia)

  Reduces elevated body temperature associated with various infections or inflammatory conditions. Paracetamol's antipyretic action, combined with Nimesulide's anti-inflammatory effects, helps to quickly bring down fever and improve patient comfort.

• Post-operative and Dental Pain

  Provides significant relief from pain and inflammation following surgical procedures or dental interventions. It helps in faster recovery by managing discomfort and swelling, allowing patients to resume normal activities more comfortably.

Side Effects of NIPTAS-S TAB

Like all medicines, NIPTAS-S TAB can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Most side effects are mild and temporary, but some can be serious. If you experience any persistent or severe side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

Less common or rare side effects may include more serious reactions. Contact your doctor immediately if you notice any of these:

It is crucial to report any unusual symptoms to your doctor. Do not self-medicate or continue use if adverse reactions occur.

How to use NIPTAS-S TAB

• Adults:

  Typically, one tablet twice daily after meals, or as directed by a physician. Do not exceed the prescribed dose or duration, usually not more than 7-10 days, due to potential liver and kidney risks.

• Children:

  NIPTAS-S TAB is generally not recommended for children below 12 years of age due to the Nimesulide component. Pediatric dosing should be strictly determined by a pediatrician based on weight and condition, if considered absolutely necessary.

• Elderly:

  Elderly patients may require a reduced dosage or closer monitoring due to potential age-related decline in liver and kidney function. Consult a doctor for appropriate dosage adjustments and to assess suitability.

• Missed Dose:

  If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to compensate.

How NIPTAS-S TAB works

NIPTAS-S TAB works through the combined actions of its two active ingredients. Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that primarily inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme. By selectively blocking COX-2, Nimesulide reduces the production of prostaglandins, which are chemical mediators responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. This selective action helps to minimize some of the gastrointestinal side effects associated with non-selective NSAIDs. Paracetamol, also known as Acetaminophen, is an analgesic and antipyretic. Its exact mechanism of action is not fully understood but is believed to involve the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis predominantly in the central nervous system. This central action contributes significantly to its pain-relieving and fever-reducing effects, complementing the anti-inflammatory action of Nimesulide. Together, these two components provide comprehensive relief from pain, reduce inflammation, and bring down fever effectively.

Precautions

• Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment, especially due to the Nimesulide component's potential for hepatotoxicity.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal ulcers, bleeding, or inflammatory bowel disease.
• Patients with pre-existing kidney or liver impairment should use this medication under strict medical supervision.
• Avoid concomitant use with other NSAIDs or Paracetamol-containing products to prevent overdose.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
• Not recommended for use in the third trimester of pregnancy due to risks to the fetus.

Safety Advice

Alcohol

UNSAFE

Consumption of alcohol while taking NIPTAS-S TAB is unsafe. It can significantly increase the risk of liver damage due to the presence of both Nimesulide and Paracetamol, which are metabolized in the liver.

Pregnancy

UNSAFE

NIPTAS-S TAB is generally considered unsafe during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, as Nimesulide can harm the developing fetus and complicate delivery. Consult your doctor for safer alternatives.

Breastfeeding

CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR

The components of NIPTAS-S TAB may pass into breast milk. It is advisable to consult your doctor before using this medication if you are breastfeeding to weigh the potential risks and benefits.

Driving

CAUTION

NIPTAS-S TAB may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or visual disturbances in some individuals. If you experience these symptoms, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you feel well.

Kidney

CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR

Patients with kidney disease should use NIPTAS-S TAB with extreme caution. Nimesulide can impair kidney function, especially in dehydrated or elderly patients. Dose adjustment or alternative medication may be necessary.

Liver

CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR

NIPTAS-S TAB should be used cautiously in patients with liver disease. Nimesulide carries a risk of hepatotoxicity, and Paracetamol overdose can also cause severe liver damage. Regular monitoring may be required.
