About Naprosyn Syrup

Naprosyn Syrup belongs to a class of painkillers known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Naprosyn Syrup is primarily used to reduce pain and swelling in muscles and joints in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis (pain and stiffness in the backbone), cervical spondylitis (wear and tear of spinal discs in the neck) and acute gout (severe pain due to excess of uric acid). Arthritis is a condition that causes swelling of one or more joints, resulting in pain and stiffness of joints that worsen over time.

Naprosyn Syrup contains Naproxen, which works by blocking the action of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body that is involved in the production of certain chemical substances, such as prostaglandins, that cause pain and swelling. Thereby, helps in relieving pain and swelling associated with different types of arthritis.

Take Naprosyn Syrup as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your Naprosyn Syrup based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience indigestion, heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, bruising, itching, rash, and ringing in your ears. Most of these side effects of Naprosyn Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Naprosyn Syrup or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Naprosyn Syrup.
