About Macprox S Tablet 2's

Macprox S Tablet 2's belongs to the class of medicines called 'antimigraine agents' used to prevent migraine symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting. Migraine is a neurological condition which is characterised by an intense pulsating, throbbing, pounding, debilitating headache which usually occurs on one side of the head; however, it can occur on both sides or shift. Hormonal changes, stress, bright lights, loud sounds, certain foods and drinks can trigger migraine headaches. 

Macprox S Tablet 2's is a combination of two drugs, namely: Sumatriptan and Naproxen. Sumatriptan acts on the serotonin (5-HT) receptors located in the brain, thereby causing the narrowing of the brain's blood vessels, which in turn affects the blood flow patterns associated with headache. Naproxen is a painkiller which works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain.  Thus, Macprox S Tablet 2's prevents symptoms of migraine-like headache, nausea and vomiting. 
 
You are advised to take Macprox S Tablet 2's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as dizziness, sleepiness, nausea, chest discomfort, dry mouth, irregular heartbeats, and heartburn. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently. 

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Macprox S Tablet 2's should not be taken during the third trimester of pregnancy. Macprox S Tablet 2's may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. Macprox S Tablet 2's should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol with Macprox S Tablet 2's as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side-effects.

Medicinal Benefits

Macprox S Tablet 2's is a combination of two drugs, namely: Sumatriptan and Naproxen. Macprox S Tablet 2's is indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura. Sumatriptan is a serotonin receptor agonist that acts on the serotonin (5-HT) receptors located in the brain, which causes the narrowing of the brain's blood vessels, thereby affecting the blood flow patterns with a headache. Naproxen is a pain killer which works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser prostaglandins are produced, thereby reducing pain in migraine.
