Arthopan 500 Tablet contains Naproxen (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or pain reliever) and Pantoprazole (antacid). Naproxen works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Pantoprazole works by blocking the action of the enzyme known as the gastric proton pump that is responsible for the production of acid. This helps in reducing the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers and prevents the formation of new ulcers.

About Arthopan 500 Tablet
Arthopan 500 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) or pain killers used to reduce and relieve pain, redness and inflammation (swelling) in patients suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, cervical spondylitis (wear and tear of spinal discs in neck), dysmenorrhea, mild migraine and acute gout (severe pain due to an excess of uric acid) in adult and children. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system of the body attacks its cells and causes damage, thereby causing joint pain with inflammation.
Arthopan 500 Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Naproxen (painkiller) and Pantoprazole (antacid). Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory drug that works by blocking the action of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body that is involved in the production of certain chemical substances (prostaglandins) that cause pain and swelling. This helps in reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site decreasing stiffness in joints. It is also used to treat low back pain, strains, and sprains. Naproxen has been reported to cause gastric discomfort, acidity, and risk of stomach ulcers. Hence, it is combined with Pantoprazole (proton pump inhibitors) which reduces the amount of acid made by the stomach, thus preventing damage to the stomach. Thus, the combination helps alleviate pain with minimal gastric irritation caused due to Naproxen alone.
Take Arthopan 500 Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Arthopan 500 Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. You may experience indigestion, stomach pain, constipation, dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea in some cases. Most of these side effects of Arthopan 500 Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any known allergy to naproxen, pantoprazole, other NSAIDs or other medications. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Arthopan 500 Tablet . Also, inform the doctor if you have a history of heart rhythm problems or ulcers due to painkillers. Patients with age above 65 years, with pre-existing cardiac diseases such as heart failure, hypertension or stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding (due to pain killers), gastric ulcers, respiratory diseases such as asthma, liver diseases, kidney diseases, or bleeding disorders should use Arthopan 500 Tablet only when prescribed by a doctor.
Uses of Arthopan 500 Tablet
Medicinal Benefits
Arthopan 500 Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory (reduces inflammation) and an analgesic (reduces pain) agent, and Pantoprazole (antacid). Naproxen works by blocking the action of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body that is involved in the production of certain chemical substances (prostaglandins) that cause pain and swelling. This helps in reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site decreasing stiffness in joints. It is also used to treat fibrositis (muscle pain and stiffness), tenosynovitis (swelling of tendons), low back pain, strains and sprains. NSAIDs such as Naproxen have been reported to cause gastric discomfort, acidity, and risk of stomach ulcers. To reduce gastric discomfort and stomach ulceration risk, it is combined with Pantoprazole (a proton pump inhibitor that inhibits gastric acid secretion) to reduce stomach acid production during long-term treatment for people with pre-existing stomach ulcers or for people having a history of developing stomach ulcers while using NSAIDs. Thus, the combination helps alleviate pain with minimal gastric irritation caused due to Naproxen alone.
