Summary

Nimesulide strongly inhibited ex vivo platelet aggregation in guinea-pigs after both single and repeated (once daily for 5 days) oral dosing, irrespective of the aggregating agent used (adenosine diphosphate, arachidonic acid or collagen). Its potency was consistently greater than that shown by either ticlopidine or acetylsalicylic acid. In both oral and rectal administration, nimesulide proved to be more active and longer lasting than paracetamol in inhibiting fever induced in rats injected subcutaneously with brewer’s yeast.
