SARIMAX Naproxen Sodium Film Coated Tablet 275mg
DESCRIPTION
SARIMAX Naproxen Sodium Film Coated Tablet 275mg contains naproxen sodium, a non steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing pain, inflammation, and swelling. The sodium salt form allows faster absorption compared with naproxen base, providing quicker onset of pain relief. The film coated tablet improves ease of swallowing.
