Medicinal Benefits

Proxzol Tablet contains Naproxen and esomeprazole (antacid). Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory (reduces inflammation) and an analgesic (relieves pain) agent that works by blocking the action of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body that is involved in the production of certain chemical substances (prostaglandins) that cause pain and swelling. This helps reduce mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site, decreasing joint stiffness. It also treats fibrositis (muscle pain and stiffness), tenosynovitis (swelling of tendons), low back pain, strains, and sprains. NSAIDs such as Naproxen have been reported to cause gastric discomfort, acidity, and risk of stomach ulcers. To reduce gastric discomfort and stomach ulceration risk, it is combined with esomeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor that inhibits gastric acid secretion) to reduce stomach acid production during long-term treatment for people with pre-existing stomach ulcers or for people having a history of developing stomach ulcers while using NSAIDs. Thus, the combination helps alleviate pain with minimal gastric irritation caused due to Naproxen alone.
