Anaflex Tablet 250 mg contains Naproxen Sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions. It is suitable for mild to moderate pain management, including arthritis, sprains, strains, and other inflammatory disorders. This lower-dose formulation allows for flexible dosing and is often preferred for patients requiring gentler anti-inflammatory therapy.
