Naprogesic

Active Ingredients

Naproxen Sodium 275mg.

Product Description

Naprogesic for up to 8 hours relief from period pain. If you experience period pain within a couple of years of getting your periods, then the cause of period pain is most probably tiny molecules called prostaglandins. When you have your period these are released to help the muscles of your uterus contract so it can expel its lining. The strength of contractions depends on the amount of prostaglandins your body produces. If your body produces a lot of these molecules, or if you are particularly sensitive to them, they will cause you pain. Naprogesic has been made especially for period pain. It reduces the amount prostaglandins produced, this reduces contractions and therefore reduces pain. Naprogesic reduces period pain for up to 8 hours.

Most women can take Naprogesic without a problem. However, as with all medications, there may be a small number of people who are sensitive to the active ingredient. If you experience any side effects that concern you, stop taking Naprogesic and consult your doctor for advice.

Dosage

Adults - Initially take 2 tablets with food followed by 1 tablet every 6 – 8 hours if required. DO NOT exceed 5 tablets per day.
