Directions for Use

Take Synflex 550mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, swallowing the tablet whole with a full glass of water, preferably with food or milk to reduce the chance of stomach upset. Do not crush or chew the tablet, and avoid lying down for at least 15 to 30 minutes after taking it to reduce irritation to the food pipe.

Do not increase your dose or take it more often than prescribed, and use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed to control your symptoms.

Relevant Information

Long-term or high-dose use of NSAIDs like naproxen carries a higher risk of stomach ulcers, kidney problems, and cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke, so your doctor may periodically review whether you still need Synflex 550mg Tablet and at what dose. If you have risk factors such as a history of ulcers, are elderly, or take other medicines that affect the stomach or kidneys, your doctor may prescribe a stomach-protecting medicine alongside Synflex or suggest a lower dose.
