How Nimodex Tablet works

Nimodex Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Nimesulide, Paracetamol and Dextropropoxyphene which relieve pain and relax the muscles. Nimesulide is a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) and Paracetamol is an antipyretic (fever reducer). They work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and fever. Dextropropoxyphene is a opioid analgesic (pain reliever). It works by decreasing the perception of pain by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain.
