How it works
Napcet Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Sumatriptan and Naproxen that treat migraine. Sumatriptan is a selective 5HT1-receptor agonist which relieves headache by narrowing the widened blood vessels in the head. Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which blocks the release of certain chemical messengers and decreases general inflammation and pain caused due to migraine.

Take it as soon as you experience warning signs like being sensitive to light or sound. Take 1 tablet at a time and do not take more than 2 doses in one day. It may cause sleepiness. Do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how Napcet Tablet affects you. Notify your doctor if your migraine occurs more often than before you started using Napcet Tablet. Inform your doctor if you have stomach pain, bloody diarrhea, headache and/or worsening high blood pressure while taking Napcet Tablet.
