Dolonap 500mg Tablets – Powerful Pain & Inflammation Relief (Naproxen 20’s)

Description:

Dolonap 500mg Tablets contain Naproxen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that provides effective relief from pain, inflammation, and swelling.

It works by blocking the action of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins—chemicals that cause pain, fever, and inflammation.
