About Arthopan 500 Tablet
Arthopan 500 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) or pain killers used to reduce and relieve pain, redness and inflammation (swelling) in patients suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, cervical spondylitis (wear and tear of spinal discs in neck), dysmenorrhea, mild migraine and acute gout (severe pain due to an excess of uric acid) in adult and children. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system of the body attacks its cells and causes damage, thereby causing joint pain with inflammation.
Arthopan 500 Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Naproxen (painkiller) and Pantoprazole (antacid). Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory drug 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 in reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site decreasing stiffness in joints. It is also used to treat low back pain, strains, and sprains. Naproxen has been reported to cause gastric discomfort, acidity, and risk of stomach ulcers. Hence, it is combined with Pantoprazole (proton pump inhibitors) which reduces the amount of acid made by the stomach, thus preventing damage to the stomach. Thus, the combination helps alleviate pain with minimal gastric irritation caused due to Naproxen alone.
Take Arthopan 500 Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Arthopan 500 Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. You may experience indigestion, stomach pain, constipation, dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea in some cases. Most of these side effects of Arthopan 500 Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any known allergy to naproxen, pantoprazole, other NSAIDs or other medications. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Arthopan 500 Tablet . Also, inform the doctor if you have a history of heart rhythm problems or ulcers due to painkillers. Patients with age above 65 years, with pre-existing cardiac diseases such as heart failure, hypertension or stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding (due to pain killers), gastric ulcers, respiratory diseases such as asthma, liver diseases, kidney diseases, or bleeding disorders should use Arthopan 500 Tablet only when prescribed by a doctor.
Uses of Arthopan 500 Tablet
Medicinal Benefits
Arthopan 500 Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory (reduces inflammation) and an analgesic (reduces pain) agent, and Pantoprazole (antacid). Naproxen 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 in reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site decreasing stiffness in joints. It is also used to treat 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 Pantoprazole (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.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to breakdown of a protective covering of cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness. The main reason for osteoarthritis is age, the older you are, the more likely you could get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear out as a person ages. Other reasons include a past injuries such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints, and ligament injuries.
Rheumatoid arthritis: It is an auto-immune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue) that leads to joint pain and damage. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include pain, swelling, stiffness, deformities, and loss of joint function.
Ankylosing spondylitis: It causes pain and stiffness in the spine. The pain usually starts in the lower back and can spread to the neck, damaged joints, or other parts of the body. Symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis include decreased flexibility which usually leads to a hunched-forward posture, pain, and back and joints.
Migraine: A headache of varying intensity, often accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.
