Description:
Napren (Naproxen) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and antipyretic properties. Naproxen is a propionic acid derivative and it inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins, primarily by inhibiting the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase. It is widely used to treat patients with rheumatic diseases. Napren (Naproxen) is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration.
