Naproxen sodium salt: an effective anti-inflammatory drug from Ireland

Naproxen sodium salt is a drug that belongs to the group of anti-inflammatory drugs derived from propionic acid. It is widely used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in various diseases. This drug is manufactured by Sintex Pharma AG in Ireland and has the international name "Naproxen".

Naproxen sodium salt is a substance containing the active substance naproxen. It has a wide spectrum of action and can be used for diseases such as rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, reactive synovitis with deforming osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, articular syndrome with exacerbation of gout, neuralgia, myalgia, migraine, toothache, adnexitis, primary dysmenorrhea, tumor and traumatic pain, as well as postoperative pain and fever.

However, the drug has some contraindications. Naproxen sodium salt is not recommended for hypersensitivity to its components or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as well as for gastric and duodenal ulcers in the acute phase. You should also limit its use in cases of severe cardiac, hepatic or renal failure, hematopoietic disorders, in adolescence under 16 years of age, during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

When using naproxena sodium salt, side effects may occur, such as heartburn, nausea, vomiting, epigastric discomfort, diarrhea, as well as gastrointestinal lesions, bleeding and various allergic reactions. Interactions with other drugs should also be taken into account, since naproxen sodium salt may increase the toxicity of some drugs or reduce their effectiveness.

If you overdose on naproxen sodium salt, symptoms such as drowsiness, heartburn, indigestion, nausea, and vomiting may occur. In such cases, it is necessary to perform gastric lavage and administration of activated carbon.

With long-term use of naproxena sodium salt, it is recommended to monitor liver and kidney function, as well as the composition of peripheral blood. If certain laboratory tests are required, such as 17-hydroxycorticosteroids, sodium, potassium, chlorides, or acyl glucuronides, you should notify your doctor if you are taking naproxen sodium as it may affect the results.
