Symptomatic relief of pain associated with sprains and acute traumatic tendinitis.
Nimesulide 3% w/w gel (usually 3 g, corresponding to a line 6-7 cm long) should be applied in a thin layer to the affected area 2-3 times daily and massaged until it is completely absorbed.
Duration of treatment: 7–15 days.
Nimesulide 3% w/w gel has not been studied in children. Therefore, safety and efficacy have not been established and the product should not be used in children (see section 4.3).
Intoxication with nimesulide as a result of topical application of Nimesulide 3% w/w gel is not to be expected since the highest plasma levels of nimesulide following application of Nimesulide gel are far below those found following systemic administration.
