Pharmacological effect

"Nemux" is a broad-spectrum medicament that exerts a multifaceted influence on the human body. In the complex, the drug has antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-aggregative (aggregation - cell adhesion into a large multicellular formation) effects. Take the medicine to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Unlike all other drugs in this group, the drug "Nemux" selectively has a suppressive effect (inhibits) on COX-2, slows down and completely stops the synthesis of prostaglandins in the area of inflammation. At the same time, the influence of Nemulex on COX-1 is much less pronounced. As a consequence, side effects due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in healthy cells and tissues develop less frequently than in other NSAIDs.

Before you start using the drug, read the special instructions:

If the kidney function worsens, the drug should be discarded.
If the drug is used for more than 2 weeks, it is necessary to monitor the liver function.
It is necessary to stop taking the drug in case of fever or development on the background of its intake of influenza-like symptoms.

When symptoms appear in patients taking Nemulex, indicating liver damage (eg, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, increased fatigue, dark urine), or increased activity of hepatic transaminases, the drug should be discontinued. It is not recommended for such patients to prescribe Nemuxle in the future.
In patients with cirrhosis of the liver or with renal insufficiency with hypoalbuminemia or hyperbilirubinemia, the binding of nimesulide is reduced.
In elderly patients, the most common side effects are when taking the drug, incl. gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, impaired function of the heart, kidneys and liver. Therefore, regular clinical monitoring of the patient's condition is recommended.

Drug Interactions

When using the drug, it is necessary to take into account the interaction with other drugs:

Nemulex can enhance the action of cyclosporin on the kidneys.
The physiological concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids do not affect the binding of nimesulide to serum albumin.
In therapeutic concentrations, the binding of nimesulide was not affected by warfarin, furosemide, glibenclamide, digitoxin.
It is not recommended to take the drug Nemux at the same time as diuretics, which have a damaging effect on renal hemodynamics.
In the presence of nimesulide, free fractions of methotrexate can increase significantly.
The concentration of lithium in the plasma increases with simultaneous administration of lithium preparations and the drug Nemux.
Taking the drug Nemux in therapeutic doses for a short period does not change the serum digoxin profile in patients with mild heart failure.
Nemux has no effect on drugs that affect the concentration of glucose in the blood and glucose tolerance in diabetic patients treated with sulfonylurea derivatives.
There is evidence that nimesulide is able to reduce the bioavailability of furosemide, compete for binding to plasma proteins of fenofibrate, salicylic acid, tolbutamides. Nemux can replace salicylic acid and furosemide (but not warfarin) in plasma proteins.
With the simultaneous use of the drug Nemuxle with GCS, serotonin reuptake inhibitors, the risk of developing gastrointestinal bleeding increases.
