Anaflex Max Tablet combines Naproxen Sodium 500 mg, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), with Esomeprazole Magnesium 20 mg, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). This unique combination provides effective pain relief while protecting the stomach and gastrointestinal lining from irritation and ulcers, a common side effect of long-term NSAID use. It is ideal for patients requiring anti-inflammatory therapy with reduced gastrointestinal risk.

Composition

• Active Ingredients:
  • Naproxen Sodium 500 mg (NSAID for pain and inflammation)
  • Esomeprazole Magnesium 20 mg (PPI to reduce gastric acid and protect the stomach)

Mechanism of Action

• Naproxen Sodium inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin production, which leads to decreased pain, inflammation, and swelling in joints and muscles.

• Management of pain and inflammation in chronic inflammatory disorders with gastrointestinal protection
