SHANGHAI Food and Drug Administration officials said yesterday they will tighten supervision over the use of nimesulide, an anti-inflammatory drug.
Thousands of side effects and even several deaths have been reported involving Chinese children who took the drug. Local pediatric hospitals said nimesulide, a prescribed medicine, is not a priority fever drug in clinical practice because it is harmful to the central nervous system.
