Synflex 275mg Tablet

Synflex 275mg Tablet contains naproxen sodium 275mg, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, mild to moderate menstrual (period) pain, muscle strains, and other musculoskeletal aches. It works by reducing the body’s production of prostaglandins, the chemical messengers responsible for pain, swelling, and fever.

On DoctorOnCall, Synflex 275mg Tablet is supplied as a prescription medicine, and an online consultation is required so a doctor can review your medical history — including any history of stomach ulcers, kidney or heart problems, or use of blood thinners — before this product is prescribed and dispensed, to ensure it is used safely for your specific situation.

Naproxen works by blocking cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins that cause pain, inflammation, and fever in the body. This helps reduce swelling and provide sustained pain relief for several hours per dose.

Take Synflex 275mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, swallowing the tablet whole with a full glass of water, preferably with food or milk to help reduce stomach irritation. Avoid lying down immediately after taking the tablet, and do not crush or chew it.

The dose and frequency of Synflex 275mg Tablet will be determined by your doctor based on the condition being treated and your individual risk factors, commonly taken as one or two tablets at a time, up to a defined maximum daily dose. Do not adjust your dose without medical advice, and use the lowest effective dose for the shortest period necessary.

Synflex 275mg Tablet should be used within the shelf life stated on the packaging when stored correctly and unopened; check the expiry date before each use and discard tablets that have expired.

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, in the original packaging. Keep out of reach and sight of children.

• Active or history of peptic ulcer disease or gastrointestinal bleeding

• Other NSAIDs or aspirin — increases risk of stomach irritation and bleeding
• Warfarin and other anticoagulants — increased bleeding risk
• ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and diuretics — reduced effectiveness and increased kidney strain
• Corticosteroids and SSRIs — higher risk of gastrointestinal bleeding when combined
• Lithium and methotrexate — naproxen can increase blood levels of these medicines

Even at this lower strength, naproxen carries the same class of risks as other NSAIDs, including stomach irritation, kidney strain, and — with prolonged use — cardiovascular risk, which is why DoctorOnCall requires a doctor’s assessment before Synflex 275mg Tablet is prescribed. Your doctor may also recommend a stomach-protecting medicine if you have risk factors for gastrointestinal side effects, or suggest an alternative pain reliever if NSAIDs are not suitable for you.
