Abstract
The article tells about the potential of nimesulide in patients with acute pain caused by lesions of the musculoskeletal system. The pharmacodynamic characteristics, mechanisms of action and high safety profile allow to consider Nimesulide to be an effective and fast-acting remedy for acute pain and inflammation.
