Naproxen EC (Enteric Coated) Tablets are a prescription‑only non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated to provide effective relief from pain, inflammation, and fever associated with chronic conditions such as arthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, and other inflammatory conditions. The enteric coating of Naproxen EC is designed to delay the release of the active ingredient until it reaches the intestines, which helps reduce irritation in the stomach lining, making it ideal for patients prone to gastric discomfort.
Naproxen EC contains naproxen with an enteric coating that helps protect the stomach by delaying release until the intestines, while maintaining anti‑inflammatory and analgesic efficacy.
The enteric coating resists dissolution in gastric acid and dissolves at higher intestinal pH, which can reduce direct gastric irritation compared with immediate‑release formulations.
Used in managing symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
Effective for conditions like tendonitis, sprains, and strains.
Alleviates pain and reduces inflammation associated with menstrual pain and gout flare‑ups.
Typically, one tablet taken once or twice daily, depending on medical guidance.
The enteric coating must remain intact for effective action; swallow tablets whole with water.
Ideally taken with or immediately after food to further minimize stomach discomfort.
Naproxen (enteric‑coated) 250mg or 500mg, depending on the prescribed dose.
Lactose, cellulose, magnesium stearate, and other agents listed in the patient information leaflet.

Allergic reaction: Swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing.
Cardiovascular risks: Long‑term use may increase the risk of heart‑related issues.
