Frequently asked questions
What is Napguard D 500mg/10mg Tablet?
Napguard D 500mg/10mg Tablet contains two active ingredients: Naproxen sodium and Domperidone. This combination provides relief from migraine symptoms, such as headache, nausea, and vomiting. Naproxen sodium is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces the production of chemical messengers causing headaches. Domperidone acts as an antiemetic to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, facilitating the smooth passage of food through the digestive tract. This helps relieve vomiting.
Can I stop taking Napguard D 500mg/10mg Tablet when my migraine symptoms are relieved?
No, discontinue this medication only under direct guidance from your doctor. Do not self-discontinue the medication.
