Naproxen + Domperidone

Naproxen-Domperidone is a combination medicine used to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling, while also preventing stomach-related discomfort like nausea and vomiting that may occur due to painkillers. Naproxen belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that reduce pain and inflammation, while Domperidone is a prokinetic and antiemetic that prevents nausea and vomiting by faster gastric emptying. Together, they provide effective relief in painful conditions such as arthritis, muscle pain, menstrual pain, and post-surgical pain. By controlling pain and improving gastrointestinal comfort, Naproxen-Domperidone helps patients recover better, stay active, and maintain quality of life.
