Answer
Though Nimesulide is approved by the drug controller as an antipyretic, there have been reports of fatal hepatic necrosis and hematuria with renal failure in few patients who have taken this drug. Infact,India is one of the 3 countries in the world where nimesulide is available as it has been removed from market in rest of the countries.
Ondansteron has no role in motion sickness.
Read the article on "HIB vaccine" on www.pediatriconcall.com for further information:
