Naprosyn 500mg is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs), characterized by a formulation that minimizes the excessive immunosuppressive effects and other side effects seen with previous steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Naprosyn 500mg is effective in a wide range of inflammatory diseases, including lumbago, arthralgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout pain.

Features of Naprosyn 500mg

The best feature of Naprosyn 500mg is that it has an excellent balance of immediate effect and longevity.

Naproxen, the active ingredient of Naprosyn 500mg, peaks in blood approximately 2 to 4 hours after administration.

This is just the timing when the concentration reaches its maximum value, and in most cases you can actually feel the effect in about 30 minutes to 1 hour after taking it. Due to its fast-acting effect, it can be said to be an analgesic that is suitable for use as a temporary remedy during gout attacks and as a preventive measure against migraine.

Naproxen has a half-life of 14 hours, which is relatively long among non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Although it depends on the symptoms to be indicated, in clinical practice, it is often taken twice a day as a medium-acting type.

Naprosyn 500mg is an easy-to-use anti-inflammatory pain reliever that provides rapid pain relief and long-lasting effects.

It is an easy-to-use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with relatively few side effects.

Anti-inflammatory drugs can be roughly divided into steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs including naprosin. Naprosyn 500mg is characterized by having fewer side effects such as excessive immunosuppression than steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs suppress inflammation by suppressing the production of arachidonic acid, which is the raw material of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are the causative substances of inflammation. Although it has a very strong anti-inflammatory effect, it has the disadvantage of being susceptible to infections and exacerbating diabetes due to excessive suppression of the immune system.

On the other hand, Naprosin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, suppresses the production of prostaglandins by inhibiting the action of enzymes (COX) that produce prostaglandins, thereby suppressing inflammation. The approach to the substance causing inflammation is gentle, and side effects can be kept to a minimum.

However, COX has two subtypes: COX1 is responsible for gastrointestinal protection and COX2 is responsible for inflammation and associated pain.

Naprosyn 500mg does not have COX selectivity, so if it strongly inhibits COX1, it may cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as stomachache and stomach discomfort. When taking Naprosyn 500mg, take it after meals as much as possible to suppress gastrointestinal symptoms as a side effect.

Naprosyn 500mg can also be taken by children over the age of two. However, it is recommended to consult a doctor or pharmacist about dosage and administration when taking this medicine for children aged 2 and over and elderly people aged 65 and over.
