How long will delivery take?

Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day. Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.

What payment methods can I use?

Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay. FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.

Can P.P. Naproxen Na 550mg Tablet be delivered to Singapore?

Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee. Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.

Is P.P. Naproxen Na 550mg Tablet registered with the authorities?

Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number. An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.

Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?

DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre. For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.

Overview

P.P. Naproxen Na 550mg Tablet is a tablet with Naproxen Sodium 550mg declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.

This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.

Directions for Use

Take P.P. Naproxen Na tablets by mouth, ideally with food, milk, or a full glass of water to reduce the chance of stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew it unless your doctor specifically instructs otherwise. Take the tablets at the dose and frequency your doctor has prescribed, and do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of use without medical advice, as prolonged high-dose use increases the risk of side effects.

Dosage

Dosage is individualised by your doctor based on the condition being treated, its severity, and your overall health, and this tablet strength is generally used only when a doctor has determined that a higher dose is appropriate. Do not adjust the dose or frequency yourself, and always take the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control your symptoms, as advised by your prescribing doctor.

Shelf Life

P.P. Naproxen Na 550mg tablets should be used before the expiry date printed on the blister strip or carton. Do not use the tablets after this date, and dispose of any unused or expired tablets appropriately rather than keeping them for future use.

Relevant Information

Naproxen sodium is a long-established NSAID valued for providing longer-lasting pain relief per dose compared with some shorter-acting NSAIDs, making it useful for conditions involving persistent pain and inflammation. Because this 550mg strength carries a higher risk of gastrointestinal, kidney, and cardiovascular side effects than lower-strength NSAIDs, it is only available on prescription in Malaysia, and a doctor’s review is needed to weigh these risks against the expected benefit for your specific condition. Customers in Malaysia and Singapore should use DoctorOnCall’s online consultation service to obtain a prescription and should have periodic medical review if treatment continues for more than a short course.
