Medical Description

Macprox Dp 250mg Strip Of 10 Tablets contains a combination of two medicines, Naproxen and Domperidone. Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory medicine, while Domperidone is an anti-emetic agent. It is used in inflammatory (pain and swelling) conditions of the joints, like rheumatoid arthritis and other forms of arthritis. It is also used for the treatment of migraine headaches. It works by blocking the effect of inflammation-inducing substances, produces relief in symptoms and also controls nausea and vomiting. Avoid taking this medicine if you have a heart rhythm problem or a history of ulcers due to painkillers. Long-term treatment with this medicine can affect your liver and kidneys. Common side effects of this medicine are dryness of the mouth, dizziness, vision problems, headache and ringing in the ears. Contact your doctor immediately if you feel the side effects persist or your condition worsens. Other medications like Naxdom 250 tablet, Naprosyn D 250mg tablet, Macprox Dp 250mg tablet, Xenadom 250mg tablet and Domstal Np 250mg tablet also include naproxen and domperidone.
