Anaflex Max Tablet 375 mg+20 mg combines Naproxen Sodium 375 mg, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), with Esomeprazole Magnesium 20 mg, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). This combination provides effective pain and inflammation relief while reducing the risk of stomach irritation, ulcers, and discomfort commonly associated with long-term NSAID use. It is particularly suitable for patients requiring moderate-dose anti-inflammatory therapy with gastrointestinal protection.
