Maricox 100mg
Brand: Miracle
Generic: Nimesulide 100mg

Introduction
Maricox 100mg is a pain-relief medicine that contains Nimesulide. It is mostly given for short-term relief in conditions where there is both pain and swelling, such as arthritis, injury, or after minor surgery. It belongs to the NSAID group (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and works by reducing inflammation and controlling pain. Doctors in Pakistan often prescribe it when regular painkillers do not provide enough relief.

Doctor’s Review
I sometimes prescribe Maricox for short-term pain when patients cannot tolerate other painkillers. It gives quick relief, but I always advise my patients not to use it for a long time because of possible liver and stomach side effects. It should only be taken under medical guidance.
