Same salt, different brands:

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Nise Gel is used in the treatment of Musculoskeletal pain. The detailed uses of Nise Gel are as follows:

  • Musculoskeletal Pain Relief: Nise Gel provides pain relief from muscle and joint pain, improving mobility and comfort.
  • Inflammation Reduction: Nise Gel helps to reduce inflammation and swelling, thereby alleviating pain and discomfort.
  • Cooling and Warming Sensation: Nise Gel provides a cooling and warming sensation, helping to ease muscle and joint tension.

Medicinal Benefits

Nise Gel is a combination of three painkillers/analgesics (Nimesulide, Capsaicin, Methyl salicylate) and one cooling agent (Menthol). Nimesulide and Methyl salicylate belong to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) or painkillers that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing pain and symptoms of inflammation such as redness and swelling. Capsaicin is an analgesic that works by affecting the chemical messenger in the brain (neurotransmitter) that transmits pain signals to the brain, thereby reducing the perception of pain. Menthol acts as a cooling agent that relieves pain initially by cooling the skin, followed by warming it up. Cooling and warming up distracts from the pain and helps improve blood circulation.
