Effectiveness

How Anaprox Ds Affects Patients

Naproxen is a common non-selective NSAID used to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. It works by blocking certain enzymes (cyclo-oxygenase) that help create inflammation-causing chemicals called prostaglandins. While naproxen is effective, it can have some negative side effects. For example, it can lead to an increase in blood pressure, especially when taken with ibuprofen. Additionally, taking naproxen increases the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers, especially for those taking corticosteroids or anticoagulants, or those with a history of gastrointestinal ulcers

How Anaprox Ds works in the body

Naproxen works by blocking two enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) that help create prostaglandins. COX-1 is always active and found in healthy tissues, while COX-2 is only active when inflammation occurs. Naproxen blocks the COX-2 enzyme which helps reduce pain, fever and inflammation, while blocking the COX-1 enzyme can cause unwanted side effects such as stomach upset and kidney damage.
