Analgesics in Italy

The analgesics category continued to benefit in 2010 from the reverse switching of nimesulide to prescription-only status. This followed warnings of possible liver damage caused by nimesulide. Most purchasers of nimesulide (which was led by the well-known Aulin brand) switched to other OTC systemic analgesics, thus boosting sales of these products. According to industry sources, the switch of nimesulide mainly benefited products containing ketoprofen, ibuprofen, acetaminophen and naproxen.
