Naprosyn Pain Relief 250Mg Gastro-Resistant Tablet - 9 Tablets

Naprosyn Pain Relief 250mg Gastro-resistant Tablets contain naproxen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for the short term relief of muscular and joint pain in adults aged 18 to 50 years. The gastro-resistant coating helps protect the stomach by allowing the tablet to dissolve further down the digestive tract. These tablets are intended for short courses of treatment lasting no longer than three days.

Can you take paracetamol with naproxen?

Paracetamol can generally be taken with naproxen because they work in different ways, and this combination is often used for short term pain relief. However, Naprosyn Pain Relief 250mg Gastro-resistant Tablets should still be taken exactly as directed, and other anti-inflammatory painkillers should be avoided at the same time.
