Medicinal Benefits:

Osnip Syrup comprises nimesulide and paracetamol, primarily used to treat mild to moderate pain. Osnip Syrup is prescribed mainly to treat pain and relieve discomfort caused by conditions like tooth pain, arthritis, period pain and other types of short-term pains. It helps treat pain by blocking the chemical messenger in the brain responsible for causing fever, pain and inflammation. Nimesulide works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our body. On the other hand, Paracetamol lowers the elevated body temperature and mild pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis by promoting heat loss (through sweating) that helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat. Paracetamol has the advantage of producing less gastric irritation than other painkillers like aspirin.
