Hi and thank you for asking us
Through the question and statement you gave on the above section, i completely understand your concern over this matter. For your information, the medicine you are taking or also known as Nimesulide is a non-steroid anti inflammatory drug that has been reported to be associated with serious adverse effects. Patients may experience symptoms similar to hepatic injury should discontinue the medication:
- Anorexia
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Dark urine
Liver damage in most cases, are reversible. The use of Nimesulide and alcohol should not be used together as both can damage the liver. Thus I suggest for you to visit your nearest clinic and do a check up of your liver functions.
Boost your immune system with a balanced diet and good nutrition.
