Composition

• Active Ingredient: Naproxen Sodium 10% w/w

Mechanism of Action

Naproxen Sodium works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemical mediators that trigger pain, inflammation, and swelling. By reducing their production locally, Anaflex Gel helps alleviate discomfort and promotes mobility in affected joints and muscles.

Anaflex Gel 10% is indicated for:

• Relief of pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
• Sprains, strains, and muscle aches
• Sports injuries such as bruises and tendonitis
• Localized musculoskeletal pain
• Back pain and joint stiffness

Dosage and Administration

• Apply a thin layer of gel to the affected area 2–3 times daily, or as directed by a physician.
• Gently massage the gel into the skin until fully absorbed.
• Wash hands thoroughly after application.
• Avoid applying to broken, irritated, or infected skin.
• Do not cover the treated area with tight bandages unless advised by a doctor.

Benefits
