Apranax Tablet 550mg

Apranax Tablet Uses

Apranax is an NSAID used for the treatment of painful and inflammatory conditions like arthritis, joint pain, back pain, migraine and menstrual cramps. It contains the active ingredient Naproxen sodium which has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving actions. Like other NSAIDs, Naproxen sodium works by reducing pain and inflammation in the body by blocking the effects of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes. These enzymes are involved in the production of prostaglandins, lipid autacoids that can cause unwanted pain and inflammation if their levels are in excess.
