Stop being reasonable about your own life. Reasonable people live reasonable lives. Extraordinary people are unreasonable—they refuse to accept limitations, they push boundaries, they demand more from themselves and from the world. This year, be gloriously, defiantly unreasonable. The world doesn't reward the cautious—it rewards those mad enough to believe in themselves when no one else does. Be that madness this year. Be unstoppable. Happy new year 🕛🕛🕛🕛🕛

🚫 Nimesulide (>100 mg immediate-release) banned in India: What the public should know The Government of India has banned all immediate-release oral formulations of Nimesulide containing more than 100 mg, citing safety concerns. Why was this needed? Nimesulide is a pain-reliever (NSAID). While effective, it is associated with dose- and duration-related adverse effects, especially on the liver. Possible adverse effects of Nimesulide Risk increases with higher doses and longer use: 1. Liver injury (hepatitis, liver failure; rare but serious) 2. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain 3. Gastritis, GI bleeding 4. Kidney dysfunction (especially in dehydration or elderly) 5. Increased cardiovascular risk (like other NSAIDs) 🔴Liver toxicity has been reported even with short-term use in some individuals, and risk rises with doses >100 mg/day. ✅ Who may take Nimesulide (if prescribed) 1. Adults 2. Lowest effective dose 3. Shortest possible duration (usually ≤5 days) 4. Only under medical advice ❌ Who should AVOID Nimesulide 1. Children & adolescents 2. Anyone with liver disease 3. Heavy alcohol users 4. Elderly with kidney disease 5. People taking other liver-toxic drugs 6. Long-term pain management patients ✅Safer alternatives for pain & fever 1. Paracetamol (first choice for most) 2. Ibuprofen or naproxen (with caution, food, and short duration) 3. Non-drug measures: rest, ice/heat, physiotherapy ✅Take-home message 💡 “Stronger” does not mean safer. 💡 Painkillers are not harmless, especially when overused. 💡 Avoid self-medication and high-dose combinations. 💡 Always use the lowest dose for the shortest time. - Via X
