Naprovis 500mg/20mg Tablet

Naprovis 500mg/20mg Tablet, made by Global Pharmaceuticals, is an anti-inflammatory painkiller combined with a stomach-protecting proton pump inhibitor. Its active ingredient is Naproxen + Esomeprazole 500mg/20mg, and it is used for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and arthritis pain in people at risk of ulcers. Pack size: 28 tablets.

Uses of Naprovis 500mg/20mg Tablet

Naprovis 500mg/20mg Tablet is used to relieve the pain, swelling and stiffness of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. It is intended for people who need regular anti-inflammatory treatment but have a higher risk of developing stomach or duodenal ulcers, for example older adults or those who have had an ulcer before. It is not meant for quick relief of sudden pain.

How Naprovis 500mg/20mg Tablet works

This combination contains two medicines with separate jobs. Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain and inflammation in the joints. Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid, lowering the chance of naproxen causing ulcers.

Stop taking it and get urgent help if you vomit blood, pass black or bloody stools, have chest pain, sudden weakness on one side, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face or throat.
