E-DRUG: RFI: Nimesulide ADRs? (7)
---------------------------------

Dear E-druggers,

In spite of hue and cry against nimesulide, its very unfortunate that DCGI
(India) has still not directed that nimesulide should be used under
supervision or with precaution. 

There are lots of research paper on nimesulide induced ADRs reported in India. For reference, see only these papers/informations published from our department only:
