History

Nioriprofen was developed in response to a growing need for accessible, effective, and safe over-the-counter medications. Advancer Enterprises, always at the forefront of pharmaceutical innovation, recognized the gaps in existing NSAID options and sought to fill them. The drug was formulated to offer rapid relief from pain and inflammation while minimizing side effects. Clinical trials were conducted rigorously, ensuring the drug met all safety and efficacy standards. It was finally introduced to the market in YE 45, receiving widespread acclaim for its balanced approach to pain management.

Usage

Nioriprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. The recommended dosage is 200mg per tablet, taken orally, not exceeding 800mg within a 24-hour period. It is particularly effective for conditions like arthritis, menstrual cramps, headaches, and sports injuries. Its antipyretic properties also make it a suitable choice for reducing fevers. The drug is designed for quick absorption, providing relief within 30 minutes of ingestion.

Side Effects

Although Nioriprofen is generally well-tolerated, like all medications, it can cause side effects. The most common side effects include stomach upset, heartburn, nausea, and dizziness. While rare, serious side effects can occur, including stomach bleeding, kidney problems, and heart attack or stroke. To minimize these risks, Nioriprofen should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest amount of time. It should also be noted that Nioriprofen is not effective when inhaled.

Overdose

Overdosing on Nioriprofen can have severe consequences, including acute gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney failure, and cardiovascular events like stroke or heart attack. The overdose threshold is around 1600mg to 2400mg. Immediate medical intervention is crucial and may involve stomach pumping, administration of activated charcoal, and supportive care to manage symptoms.
