Nalgesin S Naproxen 275mg – 10 Tablets for Mild to Moderate Pain Relief

What is Nalgesin S 275mg (Naproxen Sodium Pain Relief Tablets)?

Nalgesin S 275mg contains naproxen sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that relieves mild to moderate pain, reduces inflammation, and lowers fever by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Tablets dissolve quickly and have a rapid onset of action. Each film-coated tablet contains 275 mg naproxen sodium.

Do Not Use Nalgesin S

Warnings and Precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Nalgesin S if you have high blood pressure (including oedema), clotting disorders (petechiae, haematomas, bleeds), gastrointestinal diseases (including ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease), kidney or liver problems, or visual disturbances.

Medicines like Nalgesin S may be associated with a somewhat higher risk of heart attack (myocardial infarction) or stroke, especially at high doses and during prolonged use. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration (3 days for fever, 10 days for pain relief). If you have heart problems, have had a stroke, or are at risk (high blood pressure, diabetes, elevated cholesterol, smoking), talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking naproxen.

If you take anticoagulants, you may be at risk of haemorrhage when taking Nalgesin S. Concomitant use with alcohol may increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Do not take Nalgesin S if you have severe fresh wounds or upcoming major surgery within the next 48 hours.

Drug Interactions

Interactions have been observed with: other analgesics and NSAIDs, anticoagulants, fibrinolytics, antiplatelet agents (aspirin/acetylsalicylic acid), sulphonylureas (diabetes medicines), hydantoin derivatives (epilepsy), antihypertensives, furosemide, lithium, cyclosporine (immunosuppressants), methotrexate, and corticosteroids.

Pregnancy, Breast-feeding, and Fertility

Naproxen is not recommended during pregnancy. Do not use during the last trimester. Breast-feeding is not recommended during treatment with Nalgesin S. Using naproxen may impair fertility and is therefore not recommended for women planning to conceive. If you have difficulties conceiving or are being tested for infertility, tell your doctor.
