About Naprosyn+ Gel

Naprosyn+ Gel belongs to a class of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Maintain healthy body weight as obesity may cause joint pains. Do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching, low impact aerobic exercises like walking on a treadmill, bike riding, and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscles by lifting light weights.
  • Include more glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, Vitamin D, and calcium-enriched supplements. Besides this, turmeric and fish oils can help in reducing inflammation in the tissue.
  • In the chronic conditions of arthritis or joint pain try to include fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids which help reduce inflammation (redness and swelling).
  • Your sitting posture is important especially when you have pain and inflammation conditions. Try to sit as little as possible, and only for short time (10-15 min). Use back support like a rolled-up towel at the back of your curve to minimize pain. Besides this, you can use a footrest if required.
