Composition: Naproxen Tablets
Strength: 500 mg

Description:

Naprosyn is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, inflammation, and fever. It works by reducing substances in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and swelling. Naproxen is commonly prescribed for a wide range of musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions and is well-tolerated for both acute and long-term use under medical supervision.

Naproxen inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, which are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, the mediators responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. By blocking these enzymes, Naproxen effectively reduces inflammation and alleviates associated symptoms.
