- Napro-A Plus 500 (Naproxen Sodium 500mg + Esomeprazole 20mg)Tablet is a painkiller and belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) used to reduce and relieve pain. Pain is an unpleasant physical sensation caused by illness or injury. Napro-A Plus 500 Tablet combines Naproxen and esomeprazole. Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory drug that reduces pain and inflammation by blocking the action of the body’s cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme to produce certain chemical substances (prostaglandins) that cause pain and swelling. However, Naproxen can cause gastric discomfort, acidity, and risk of stomach ulcers. Therefore, Napro-A Plus 500 Tablet, when combined with esomeprazole (proton pump inhibitors), reduces the amount of acid made by the stomach, thus preventing damage to the stomach. The combination helps alleviate pain with minimal gastric irritation caused due to Naproxen alone.
