Freedonap 250 Tablet is a combination of naproxen and domperidone. Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory (reduces inflammation) and analgesic (reduces pain) agent. It inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are inflammatory mediators, thereby reducing pain and inflammation. Domperidone acts by enhancing gastric peristalsis (movements) to empty the stomach. Easy movement of food through the stomach helps in relieving nausea and vomiting. It blocks the dopamine receptors present in the chemoreceptor trigger zone, which is responsible for regulating nausea and vomiting.

Inform your doctor if you are taking any of the anticoagulants (warfarin), other NSAIDS (ibuprofen, ketorolac), corticosteroids (prednisolone), antidepressants (citalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine, duloxetine, venlafaxine), or any other dietary or herbal supplements. Long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) (other than aspirin) such as naproxen may increase the risk of heart attack or stroke and stomach ulcers. The risk of developing ulcers is higher if you have a history of ulcers, have bleeding disorders, are older in age, are an alcoholic or have multiple diseases. The risk of having a heart attack increases if you smoke, or you or your family has a history of heart failure, stroke, or hypertension. Call for medical help immediately if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, blood in the stool or dark stools, heartburn, or any other abnormal signs.
