Hi.
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Nimesulide.

The most common side effects that can occur with the use of Nimesulide include abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, itching, difficulty in breathing, painful oral ulcers and the most serious and fatal liver damage.

Hair discoloration is also an important side effect of Nimesulide.

It is unfortunate that Nimesulide is still widely used in some of the countries while many countries (including Switzerland where it was discovered) and even Bangladesh have banned this medication because of its link with liver toxicity.

Hope this answers your query.

Kindly rate the answer, if you are convinced.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern "Nimesulide" is NSAID (Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drug ) like other NSAID have some side effects if taken for long time, this is nephrotoxic hepatotoxic drugs, but this does not cause the hair fall or grey hair, hope this information helps, take care.
