Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Sumo tablets contains nimesulide 100 mg, paracetamol 500 mg. Nimesulide was never permitted to be used in United States, Canada, Britain, Australia etc. It has been banned due to its harmful effects on liver causing liver failure on long term use. In india it is banned to use under 12 years of age.
So you would not find any drug containing nimesulide in Usa. You could take other drugs like tramadol, diclofenac (voveron) or acelofenac with combination of paracetamol. These are easily available there.

Refer to your physician

Hope this information helps
