ESPRA XN TABLET

Question 1

How does ESPRA XN TABLET work?

Accepted Answer

ESPRA XN TABLET contains Naproxen (NSAID or pain reliever) and esomeprazole (antacid). Naproxen works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Esomeprazole works by blocking the action of the enzyme known as the gastric proton pump that is responsible for the production of acid. This helps reduce the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers and prevents the formation of new ulcers.
