I just got a prescription for this in Mexico, for a sore throat... but I am also menstrating and am having cramps, which it should also help and it isn't doing a damn thing for either pain! Guess I'll go back to good old ibuprofen!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.153.252.6 ( talk • contribs)
6/28/2006 This prescription drug is sold in India under the brand name "Willgo." It seems to be widely available in India.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.97.94 ( talk • contribs)
29/08/2006 This drug is sold and given by prescription in India, I was prescribed it under the name "Nock 2", it was a combination of 100mg nimesulide and 400mg paracetamol. I was given it to help control fever due to typhoid. After taking the drug for only 3 days I started to develop the symptoms of jaundice and a blood test confirmed Hepatitis B. I am now beginning to get over the hepatitis.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Pancap108 ( talk • contribs)
08/11/2006 It is far more popular in India under the brand "Nise". The word is pronounced "Nice" and kind of vibes with a good feeling. It is often available OTC. The manufacturer claims to have sold 1.2 Bn of these in 8 years [1]—Preceding unsigned comment added by 221.134.217.137 ( talk • contribs)
13/06/2007 It's a prescription drug marketed as Aulin here. Got it for severe tooth pain. The pharmacy worker did look a bit surprised, and asked me if this was for pain. Not sure if it was the cause of me getting better, but after 4 hours the pain was back. 84.255.192.37

Why is there no mention in this article of the controversy surrounding this drug? Its use in children is forbidden in many countries, but not others. The article sounds like an ad from a drug company! It seems that a previous version of this article mentionned the problem. Has the text been sanitized by drug company employees?!

Article on the controversy surrounding this drug in India—Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.67.231.185 ( talk • contribs)
I don't particularly like the non-cited scaremongering and speculation in the section, and think everything after the first sentence can be removed. All the information in there seems redundant and in bad tone. As a newbie, would prefer having the step at least seconded beforehand though. 80.94.55.1 ( talk) 10:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
I have taken nimesulid for tooth pain many times, no more than five days and no problem at the moment, my soon (25 y.o.who) is alergic to penicilin received the prescription to take nimesulid for fever in a respiratory infection, I am worried. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.10.140.65 ( talk) 02:08, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
It is widely used here in Bulgaria in cases of toothpain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.90.11.27 ( talk) 11:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
This medication is available in Colombia under prescription —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.24.90.32 ( talk) 00:59, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Links section: If Nimesulide isn't patented anymore, why would anyone say that nimesulide.net is the "official" page for it?
Since Shakespeare is in the public domain, can we say that shakespeare.net is his "official" page?
The "official" label has been removed, and specific mention to the pharmaceutical company was made instead. – Tintazul msg 10:06, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
The Swedish newspapers report to-day that the preparation Fortodol, registered as a "natural product" has caused severe liver problems, and that an investigation has shown that the reason is that the preparation has been contaminatged with nimesulid.
Please also observe that the structure given in the article does not correspond to the systematic name below it. I do not know, which is correct, will try to find out. Should this be mentioned in the article? Lave ( talk) 19:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
The first ref in the article doesn't seem to be attached to any specific claim in the text, although the info that the linked article provides is relevant. I think it may be integrated into the section on liver toxicity, but shouldn't stay where it is now.-- 91.148.159.4 ( talk) 00:07, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
The banning of nimuselide proves that the Indian government has again fallen in the hands of misled information with high level of corruption involvement in the pharmaceutical industries. The drug has definite advantage over that of other NSAIDS in the pharmacological field. The reasons for banning for nimuselide was liver toxicity. It has to be stated that the liver toxicity is a an adverse reaction of all NSAIDS. Most probably the incidence of liver toxicity is less in nimuselide compared to that of paracetamol. The poor Indian government has not been able to compare the toxicity effects of nimuselide with that of paracetamol and hence nimuselide which has been the guineas pig of the wild market and business phenomenas of the big pharmaceutical companies. The drug has been a bane for the poor and patients who were not responding to paracetamol in fever. Best of luck to the Indian government and its policies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.56.169.125 ( talk) 02:15, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
Nimesulide is still sold in India as of today, although we hear of the ban in India. This drug is very dangerous. For your safety, do not use this drug under any circumstaces. Yottamaster ( talk) 15:33, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
Nimesulide has just been banned and recalled in Mexico in all children's presentations. It was already a controlled substance (Schedule IV) in Mexico.

Doctors do not agree with the recall and ban: http://www.elmundodecordoba.com/noticias/local/1928894-CLP7N-7NIMESULIDA http://www.tabascohoy.com/noticia.php?id_nota=271959
I do not have enough english skills to add this information to the article. Also, as a personal side note, I'm an expert in the field and pharmaceuticals are my line of work, and I agree that at least for the population in Mexico (where there is strict and widespread pharmacovigilance due to the very large percentage of population with healthcare provided by state agencies) there is no significant incidence of hepatotoxicity associated with Nimesulide use.

article has a contradiction.
A) It sais it was never evaluated (applied for) in USA. B) In other part, it says witdrawn from usa. The B part reference does not say USA. It says "nimesulide, was withdrawn in Spain, Finland, Belgium and Ireland but is still available in 15 EU member states". B spot should be edited and USA removed from B spot.
