Overview

Apo-Napro 550mg Tablet contains Naproxen Sodium 550mg and is presented as a tablet. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Take Apo-Napro 550mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation with DoctorOnCall, swallowing the tablet whole with a full glass of water, preferably with food or milk to minimise stomach upset. Do not lie down immediately after taking it, and do not exceed the frequency or dose your doctor has recommended.

Dosage

For most adults, the typical dose is 550mg initially, followed by 550mg every 12 hours as needed, with a maximum recommended daily dose that your doctor will specify based on your condition, as exceeding 1100mg per day is generally not advised without close medical supervision. Dosing for gout attacks or menstrual pain may differ, so always follow your doctor’s specific instructions rather than a general guideline.
