Nimesulide is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and antipyretic properties, primarily used for the treatment of acute pain, symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis, and primary dysmenorrhea. Its approval and clinical use have been restricted or withdrawn in several countries due to concerns regarding potential hepatotoxicity.
