Why is there no mention in this article of the controversy surrounding this drug? Its use in children is forbidden in many countries, but not others. The article sounds like an ad from a drug company! It seems that a previous version of this article mentionned the problem. Has the text been sanitized by drug company employees?!

:Indeed a section was (albeit in pieces) removed and rewritten.  It does tell a bit more about it's side-effects.  Could you write a section 'controversy' (please follow wp:npov!), also feel free to edit the other sections.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 20:43, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Controversy

message: I don't particularly like the non-cited scaremongering and speculation in the section, and think everything after the first sentence can be removed. All the information in there seems redundant and in bad tone. As a newbie, would prefer having the step at least seconded beforehand though. 80.94.55.1 (talk) 10:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Links section: If Nimesulide isn't patented anymore, why would anyone say that nimesulide.net is the "official" page for it?
Since Shakespeare is in the public domain, can we say that shakespeare.net is his "official" page?
The "official" label has been removed, and specific mention to the pharmaceutical company was made instead. – Tintazul msg 10:06, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The Swedish newspapers report to-day that the preparation Fortodol, registered as a "natural product" has caused severe liver problems, and that an investigation has shown that the reason is that the preparation has been contaminatged with nimesulid.
Please also observe that the structure given in the article does not correspond to the systematic name below it. I do not know, which is correct, will try to find out. Should this be mentioned in the article? Lave (talk) 19:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have checked, if the odd line from the sulhur represents a CH3-group, the structure is correct. For the sake of clarity, terminal methyl groups should be written as CH3, not just as a line! I have also inserted a section in the text about the use of nimesulide in Sweden and Norway illicitly in the preparation Fortodol, a preparation declared to be herbal.

message: No differences between nimesulide and other NSAIDs liver toxicity
The first ref in the article doesn't seem to be attached to any specific claim in the text, although the info that the linked article provides is relevant. I think it may be integrated into the section on liver toxicity, but shouldn't stay where it is now.--91.148.159.4 (talk) 00:07, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The banning of  nimuselide proves that the Indian government  has again  fallen in the hands of  misled information with high level of corruption involvement in the pharmaceutical industries. The drug  has definite advantage over that  of other NSAIDS in the pharmacological field. The reasons for  banning   for  nimuselide was liver  toxicity. It has to be stated that  the liver toxicity is a  an adverse  reaction of all NSAIDS. Most probably the incidence of liver toxicity is less in nimuselide  compared to that of paracetamol. The poor Indian  government has not been able to compare the toxicity effects of nimuselide with that of paracetamol and hence nimuselide which has been  the  guineas pig of the wild market and business phenomenas of the big pharmaceutical companies. The  drug has been a bane for the poor and patients who were not responding to paracetamol in fever. Best of luck to the Indian government and its policies.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.56.169.125 (talk) 02:15, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Nimesulide is still sold in India as of today, although we hear of the ban in India. This drug is very dangerous. For your safety, do not use this drug under any circumstaces. Yottamaster (talk) 15:33, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Nimesulide has just been banned and recalled in Mexico in all children's presentations. It was already a controlled substance (Schedule IV) in Mexico.

I do not have enough english skills to add this information to the article. Also, as a personal side note, I'm an expert in the field and pharmaceuticals are my line of work, and I agree that at least for the population in Mexico (where there is strict and widespread pharmacovigilance due to the very large percentage of population with healthcare provided by state agencies) there is no significant incidence of hepatotoxicity associated with Nimesulide use.

message: article has a contradiction.
A) It sais it was never evaluated  (applied for) in USA. B)
In other part, it says witdrawn from usa. The B part reference does not say USA. It says "nimesulide, was withdrawn in Spain, Finland, Belgium and Ireland but is still available in 15 EU member states". B spot should be edited and USA removed from B spot.EncycloABC (talk) 17:27, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
