Naprosyn + 250MG

Naproxen 250 mg (as Naproxen) tablet

Relief of pain and inflammation in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute gout, musculoskeletal pain, dental pain, and primary dysmenorrhoea (period pain).

Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin formation, which helps decrease pain, inflammation and fever.

Take by mouth as advised by the doctor. Preferably take with food or milk to reduce stomach upset; swallow with water. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration; do not exceed the prescribed dose.
