Active ingredients

Anaprox (naproxen) is an analgesic belonging to a class of medications called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Apart from its pain-relieving properties, naproxen also has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Naproxen exerts its inhibitory effects on cyclooxygenases (COX), thereby reducing prostaglandin biosynthesis. At the same time, it inhibits thromboxane synthase to reduce the production thromboxane A2. Together, these actions result in less inflammation and platelet aggregation.

What is Anaprox used for?

• Mild-to-moderate pain (with inflammation) in post-dental extraction and musculoskeletal trauma;
• Pain linked to dysmenorrhea and post-partum cramping.

Dosage

Each bottle comes with 100 film-coated Anaprox tablets, which are blue in color.

Your doctor may use the lowest effective dose to minimize the risk of side effects. Do not change the dosage without asking your doctor. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose of 1,375mg. Do not use Naproxen more frequently (or for a longer duration) than prescribed.
