How Progesic 500 works

Progesic 500 is a combination of two medicines: Naproxen and Esomeprazole which relieve pain. Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause fever, pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Esomeprazole is a proton-pump inhibitor.which reduces the amount of acid in the stomach and prevents damage to the stomach lining caused by Naproxen.
