Naprosyn Gel 30 gm

Your doctor may prescribe NAPROSYN GEL for several localised painful conditions. These include:

• Osteoarthritis: Helps relieve pain and swelling in joints close to the skin, such as the hands, knees, or ankles.
• Muscle strains and sprains: Reduces inflammation and eases pain caused by minor sports injuries, twists, or pulled muscles.
• Localized joint stiffness: Soothes sore, stiff muscles and joints to help improve daily physical function and ease movement.

NAPROSYN GEL helps relieve pain and inflammation at the affected area, improving comfort, movement, and day-to-day function while minimising unnecessary exposure to the rest of the body.

• Targeted pain relief: When applied directly to the skin, NAPROSYN GEL concentrates at the site of pain, helping relieve discomfort in the affected muscles or joints.
• Reduces inflammation and swelling: It helps decrease local inflammation, easing tenderness, stiffness, and swelling associated with injuries or musculoskeletal conditions.
• Improves movement and daily comfort: By reducing pain and stiffness, it helps restore mobility, making everyday activities and physical movement more comfortable.
• Lower risk of stomach-related side effects: Because it is applied topically rather than taken by mouth, less medicine enters the bloodstream, reducing the likelihood of stomach irritation or indigestion compared with oral NSAIDs.

• It is advised to apply NAPROSYN GEL twice daily; however, follow your doctor’s recommendation regarding the dosage and duration.
• Apply it as a thin layer to the affected area, and gently massage it into the skin until fully absorbed.
• NAPROSYN GEL is only for external use.
• Do not apply NAPROSYN GEL to broken skin, open wounds, or near the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes.

• Stay active with low-impact exercise: Activities like swimming, walking, or cycling help keep joints mobile and muscles strong without putting excessive stress on painful areas.
• Maintain a healthy weight: Carrying extra weight puts additional mechanical pressure on your knees, hips, and lower back, which can worsen joint pain.
• Apply temperature therapies carefully: You can use cold packs to reduce acute swelling or warm compresses to soothe stiff muscles, but avoid applying them immediately after using NAPROSYN GEL to prevent altering skin absorption.
• Incorporate stretching: Perform gentle daily stretching exercises to maintain your range of motion and prevent muscle stiffness.

• Check the product before use: Inspect the tube before each use and do not apply the gel if the seal is broken or the product appears discoloured.
• Apply only to intact skin: Do not use this gel on broken, cut, scraped, sunburned, or infected skin.
• Avoid contact with sensitive areas: Keep the gel away from your eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with plenty of clean water.
• Do not cover with airtight dressings: Avoid wrapping the treated area with plastic wrap, waterproof dressings, or tight bandages unless instructed by your doctor, as this can increase absorption and the risk of side effects.
• Protect treated skin from sunlight: Avoid direct sunlight and UV tanning lamps on the treated area, as NAPROSYN GEL may increase your skin's sensitivity to light and raise the risk of sunburn.
