Neso 500/20mg Tablet

Description:

Neso 500/20mg Tablet is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: Naproxen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It is primarily used to reduce and relieve pain while minimizing the risk of stomach irritation and ulcers associated with Naproxen use alone.Naproxen is an NSAID that works by blocking the action of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and inflammation. By doing so, Naproxen helps alleviate mild to moderate pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by injury or certain medical conditions.However, Naproxen can cause gastric discomfort, and acidity, and increase the risk of stomach ulcers. To counteract these effects, esomeprazole is combined with Naproxen in Neso 500/20mg Tablet. Esomeprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors, which reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach. By decreasing stomach acid production, esomeprazole helps prevent stomach damage and minimizes gastric irritation caused by Naproxen.It’s important to take Neso 500/20mg Tablet as prescribed by your doctor and for the duration recommended based on your medical condition.
