Naprosyn EC vs. Naproxen Gastro-Resistant: A Clarification:
- Naprosyn EC is actually a shortened way of saying Naprosyn Enteric Coated.
- Enteric coated and gastro-resistant essentially mean the same thing.
Naproxen Gastro-Resistant Tablets (250mg-500mg) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that functions as both a painkiller and antipyretic (reduces fever).
It is commonly used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower body temperature by inhibiting the production of certain hormones, specifically prostaglandins, that cause pain and inflammation in the body.
Naproxen treats conditions such as arthritis, muscle aches, back pain, menstrual cramps, and other acute pain situations.
Naproxen EC (Enteric coated) delayed-release tablets are a formulation designed to release the medication gradually into your bloodstream over a longer period. This is in contrast to the immediate-release form, which starts working more quickly.
To treat severe pain requiring fast relief, slower-acting delayed-release or extended-release tablets of naproxen may not act quickly enough.
What Is Naproxen Gastro-Resistant sodium tablets?
The purpose of Naproxen Gastro-Resistant Tablets is to relieve pain and reduce inflammation while minimizing the risk of stomach irritation.
These tablets have a special coating that allows them to pass through the stomach and dissolve in the intestines, making them gentler on the stomach.
Naproxen Sodium (can resist stomach acid) tablets belong to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and are also known as Naproxen Sodium.
It is a powerful painkiller comes in the form of liquid or tablet, treating inflammation, swelling, redness, joint pain, arthritis, and muscular pain. It is also used to treat:
- Back pain
- Strains and sprains (bone and muscle disorders)
- Ankylosing spondylitis refers to stiffness and pain in the back and neck
- Heavy period pain in women
- Gout
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
You can take Naproxen twice daily with or after food. However, if you get any side effects, talk to your doctor immediately.
Why is Naproxen Gastro-Resistant generally prescribed?
These forms (Naproxen Gastro-Resistant) are generally prescribed for chronic or long- term conditions like arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis, where sustained relief over time is needed.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines recommend that people at high risk of stomach problems from NSAIDs should take a PPI like omeprazole.
If you are taking Naproxen long-term to treat heavy period pains, also taking omeprazole or lansoprazole can protect your stomach and reduce the risk of side effects, such as stomach ulcers.
Naproxen Gastro-Resistant Tablets comes in prescription and over-the-counter forms, with lower-strength versions available without a prescription. Manufacturers can vary, so check the leaflet that comes with the product for details.
Naproxen Gastro Resistant Tablets Vs. Omeprazole
Do I need to take Omeprazole with gastro-resistant Naproxen? Naproxen and Omeprazole are prescribed for different conditions however, for complementary purposes, both are used to relieve pain and protect your gastrointestinal system.
Naproxen reduces pain and inflammation but can cause stomach problems. So when Omeprazole is prescribed with Naproxen, it can reduce inflammation and mitigate the irritative effects of naproxen.
