[edit] amazingly on the market

They still sell this in Vietnam, as of 12/11/2005

Damn shame, it's amazing that medicines like this stay on the market—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.6.100.29 (talk • contribs).

[edit] availability in Singapore/asia

4/04/2006 I was just prescribed these by a Doctor in Singapore. So still available in asia.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vzhbxh (talk • contribs).

[edit] Used in the past

• I've taken it in the past, and I'm taking it currently (both times to deal with pain from a tooth ache). It's caused me no problems whatsoever. The only warning I've been given is no to take it for more than five days.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.242.208.64 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Mexico/Vietnam

April 12, 2006

I just got a prescription for this in Mexico, for a sore throat... but I am also menstrating and am having cramps, which it should also help and it isn't doing a damn thing for either pain! Guess I'll go back to good old ibuprofen!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.153.252.6 (talk • contribs).

[edit] India/Willgo

6/28/2006 This prescription drug is sold in India under the brand name "Willgo." It seems to be widely available in India.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.92.97.94 (talk • contribs).

[edit] India/Nock 2

29/08/2006 This drug is sold and given by prescription in India, I was prescribed it under the name "Nock 2", it was a combination of 100mg nimesulide and 400mg paracetamol. I was given it to help control fever due to typhoid. After taking the drug for only 3 days I started to develop the symptoms of jaundice and a blood test confirmed Hepatitis B. I am now beginning to get over the hepatitis.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pancap108 (talk • contribs).

[edit] India/Nise

08/11/2006 It is far more popular in India under the brand "Nise". The word is pronounced "Nice" and kind of vibes with a good feeling. It is often available OTC. The manufacturer claims to have sold 1.2 Bn of these in 8 years[1]—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 221.134.217.137 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Controversy

13 December, 2006

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)
