Overview
Naproxen EC 500mg is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) tablet used to relieve pain, swelling and stiffness. The enteric coating (EC) releases the medicine in the intestine to help protect the stomach. It is commonly prescribed for arthritis, back pain, gout, muscle and joint injuries, and period pain. The 56-tablet pack suits longer-term management of ongoing inflammatory conditions. Naproxen works by reducing the body chemicals that cause pain and inflammation, giving lasting relief from chronic aches.
Active ingredient: Naproxen 500mg (enteric-coated) per tablet.
