Napsod Tablet 550 mg contains Naproxen Sodium, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, inflammation, and fever. This higher-strength formulation is particularly effective for moderate to severe pain and inflammatory conditions that require stronger and sustained symptom control.

Naproxen Sodium is widely prescribed for both acute and chronic musculoskeletal disorders. With its longer duration of action compared to many other NSAIDs, Napsod 550 mg provides extended relief, helping patients manage pain and stiffness effectively and maintain daily activities with greater comfort.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Naproxen Sodium 550 mg

Mechanism of Action

Naproxen Sodium works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes responsible for producing prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are substances in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing their production, Napsod Tablet 550 mg effectively decreases inflammation, swelling, and pain intensity.

Its combined anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects make it suitable for a wide range of painful conditions.
