Naproxen (500mg)

NAPROXZEN 250, containing Naproxen (250mg), is a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that provides effective relief from pain and inflammation. This detailed guide will cover everything you need to know about NAPROXZEN 250, including its uses, dosage, side effects, precautions, interactions, and more.

Composition and Mechanism of Action

Naproxen (250mg): Naproxen is a potent NSAID that works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes. These enzymes play a crucial role in the production of prostaglandins, which are compounds responsible for inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking these enzymes, Naproxen reduces inflammation and alleviates pain.

Menstrual Pain: Alleviates dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual periods) by reducing uterine contractions and inflammation.
Migraine and Headaches: Helps reduce the intensity and frequency of migraines and tension headaches.

Dosage

Standard Dosage: The recommended starting dose of NAPROXZEN 250 for adults is one tablet (250mg) taken every 8 to 12 hours as needed. In some cases, an initial dose of 500mg (two tablets) may be taken, followed by 250mg every 8 hours.
