Naprosyn+ Gel

Naprosyn+ Gel belongs to a class of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Naprosyn+ Gel is used locally to reduce pain and swelling in muscles and joints in conditions such as the stiff neck, tendinitis (inflammation of tendons), myalgia (muscle pain), bursitis (inflammation of small fluid-filled sacs called bursae near a tendon or joint), lumbar pain, strained muscles, bruises, tenosynovitis (swelling of tendons), periarthritis (inflammation around joint) and hematoma (clotted blood that forms in a tissue, organ or body space).

Naprosyn+ Gel contains Naproxen, a pain reliever that works by blocking the action of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body which is involved in the production of certain chemical substances called prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling. Thereby, helps in relieving pain and swelling.

Naprosyn+ Gel is only for external use. Your doctor will advise you on how often you need to use Naprosyn+ Gel based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience redness, itching, skin irritation, burning or heat sensation/ warmth at the site of application.
