Mechanism of Action

Naproxen Sodium works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), which are responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins play a key role in causing pain, inflammation, and fever. By lowering prostaglandin levels, Nuprafen effectively reduces pain, swelling, stiffness, and fever.

Compared to some other NSAIDs, naproxen has a relatively longer duration of action, allowing sustained pain relief with fewer daily doses.

Dosage and Administration

Nuprafen Tablet 250 mg should be taken orally with a glass of water, preferably after food to minimize gastric irritation. The dosage depends on the nature and severity of the condition:

• Typical adult dose: 250–500 mg twice daily

• Maximum daily dose should not exceed the amount prescribed by a physician

Dose adjustments may be necessary in elderly patients or those with renal impairment. Always follow the doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

Side Effects

Like other NSAIDs, Nuprafen may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include:

• Gastric discomfort or indigestion

• Nausea or vomiting

• Heartburn

• Headache or dizziness

Less common but serious side effects may include gastrointestinal bleeding, fluid retention, increased blood pressure, or allergic reactions. Long-term use should be monitored by a healthcare professional.

Precautions and Warnings

• Use with caution in patients with a history of peptic ulcer disease, cardiovascular disorders, kidney or liver impairment

• Not recommended during the last trimester of pregnancy

• Avoid concurrent use with other NSAIDs unless advised by a physician

• Alcohol consumption may increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects
