Naxo Tablet 500 mg contains Naproxen Sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the relief of pain, inflammation, and fever. It is commonly prescribed for moderate to severe musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions. Due to its longer duration of action, it provides sustained pain relief with fewer daily doses.
