[Efficacy and tolerability of nimesulide in inflammatory diseases of the genito-urinary system].

: In a controlled clinical trial 80 patients of both sexes, aged between 19 and 70 years, with acute or chronic reacutized flogistic bacterial affections of the genito-urinary tract, were randomly assigned to anti-inflammatory treatment with nimesulide (200 mg/day p.o.) or placebo for a mean period of 9 days, in association to the specific antibiotic therapy. In the group treated with nimesulide a significant clinical improvement of the symptomatology was observed in the majority of cases. The therapeutic activity appeared quickly and complete remission of the symptomatology was achieved in a number of cases significantly higher than in the reference group. The tolerability of nimesulide was good.
