Compound similarities
The active substances in the drugs differ, but have similar pharmacological properties. Nimesil contains nimesulide, and Ketanov contains ketorolac tromethamine. These components have the following characteristics:
- Nimesulide has analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects. Belongs to the group of sulfonamides. It is an anti-inflammatory drug of non-steroidal origin. Shows suppressive activity against cyclooxygenase, inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins.
- Ketorolac tromethamine is characterized by a pronounced analgesic effect. Relieves the inflammatory process and has a moderate antipyretic effect. Suppresses the formation of cyclooxygenase and prostaglandins. The intensity of the analgesic effect is comparable to morphine.
Nimesil is available in powder form for the preparation of a suspension. Ketanov is sold in the form of tablets and solution for injection.
Differences between Nimesil and Ketanov
Medicines differ in the form of release and the active substance. There are other features:
- The analgesic property of Ketanov is predominant over the anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. This drug is used to relieve pain of various etiologies. Prescribed after surgery and in the treatment of cancer. Nimesil is used to eliminate acute pain in the lumbar region, back, injuries and sprains, inflammation of the tendons and synovial cavity. Used in the treatment of pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, osteoarthritis. Used to relieve toothache and pain during menstruation.
- The drugs have different rates of onset of therapeutic effect. The maximum concentration of the active substance Ketanov in the blood is observed 40 minutes after administration, and the peak concentration of the active component Nimesil appears after 2 or 3 hours.
- The duration of the therapeutic effect of Ketanov is from 4 to 6 hours, Nimesil remains active longer - from 6 to 12 hours. The indicator in both cases depends on the intensity of the pain syndrome and the characteristics of the body.
Ketanov should not be taken for pain relief for more than 5 days.
The differences include the duration of therapy. Ketanov should not be taken for more than 5 days. The maximum allowable period of treatment with Nimesil is 14 days.

Review:
In principle, ketanov relieves pain quite well. But if I take it for two days, then I feel sleepy and I don’t like it, as if I’m on a drug. I don’t want this to somehow come back to haunt me in the future. That’s why I’ve now switched to dialrapid. This is a modern drug and does not make me drowsy.

Recently, instead of Ketanov, I tried Dialrapid. Now I compare and understand that I won’t buy ketans anymore. It made him feel sleepy. There was no question of getting behind the wheel. With dialrapid everything is much simpler and better.
Is it possible to take Nimesil and Ketanov at the same time?
The drugs are not prescribed in combination. This makes no sense, since the pharmacological properties of drugs differ only in the intensity of the therapeutic effect. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs often cause adverse effects, which will increase the concomitant use of medications.
Complex use of the medications in question will not enhance the therapeutic effect, but will only create additional stress on the body. The effect on platelet activity will increase, which will lead to blood clotting disorders. The negative effect on the mucous membrane of the digestive tract will increase. With chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, the risk of bleeding will increase.
The attending physician determines the need to choose a medication in an individual case, taking into account the distinctive features of the drugs.
