Macprox 600gm Tablet

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Macprox 600gm Tablet is a pain-relieving medicine. It provides relief from pain and inflammation in conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, and juvenile arthritis. It also helps in relieving muscle and joint pain, headache, fever, toothache, and menstrual cramps.

It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)

Benefits of Macprox Tablet

In Fever

Macprox 600gm Tablet is used to reduce a high temperature (fever). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause fever. It may be prescribed alone or in combination with another medicine. You should take it regularly as advised by your doctor.

In Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a condition that causes pain and stiffness in the joints. Macprox 600gm Tablet helps relieve pain and reduces inflammation and swelling in your joints due to this condition. This will ensure that you have a better, more active, quality of life. You can apply it over the affected areas, especially if you have arthritis in your hands, knees, ankles, and feet.

Additionally, you may consider simple lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, losing weight, maintaining good posture while doing various daily activities, and wearing comfortable footwear. This will help you manage mild symptoms of osteoarthritis very effectively in the long run.

In Rheumatoid arthritis

Macprox 600gm Tablet works by blocking the action of some chemicals which cause inflammation. It can help reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling in your joints and slow down the progression of bone and joint damage. This will help you do normal daily activities more easily and thus improve your quality of life. This medicine should be taken at the same time each day to get maximum benefits. Keep taking it even if you feel well because it is preventing future harm as well as improving your symptoms.

In Ankylosing spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis is a rare type of arthritis that affects the spine or larger joints. It usually starts in your lower back and can spread up to your neck or damage joints in other parts of your body. Macprox 600gm Tablet helps reduce pain, stiffness and swelling in your spine and joints. It helps improve flexibility and prevents disease progression. This will help you lead a better and active life.

In Gout

Gout is a form of arthritis caused by excess uric acid in the bloodstream. Gout causes attacks of painful inflammation in one or more of your affected joints. Macprox 600gm Tablet reduces the inflammation, swelling and pain of the gout attack. Take Macprox 600gm Tablet as prescribed and avoid skipping doses. Make appropriate lifestyle changes like losing weight (if you are overweight), eating a healthy diet and avoiding alcohol or sugar-sweetened drinks to get maximum benefit.

In Pain relief
