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!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.153.252.6 (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.—Preceding unsigned comment 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]—Preceding unsigned comment added by 221.134.217.137 (talk • contribs)
[edit] Slovenia (Europe)
13/06/2007 It's a prescription drug marketed as Aulin here. Got it for severe tooth pain. The pharmacy worker did look a bit surprised, and asked me if this was for pain. Not sure if it was the cause of me getting better, but after 4 hours the pain was back. 84.255.192.37
[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)
[edit] NPOV on RTE Prime Tiem section
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)
