Naprox 250 D Tablet is a combination of two medicines used to relieve migraine symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting. Naproxen works by blocking chemical messengers responsible for pain and inflammation. Domperidone helps prevent nausea and vomiting by improving gut movement and acting on the brain’s vomiting center. Together, they provide effective relief from both headache and associated stomach discomfort during migraines.
Can the use of Naprox 250 D Tablet cause diarrhea?
Yes, the use of Naprox 250 D Tablet can cause diarrhea. In case you experience diarrhea, drink plenty of water or other fluids.

The use of Naprox 250 D Tablet is considered to be harmful for patients with known allergies to any of the components or excipients of this medicine or in patients with known allergies to other painkillers belonging to NSAIDs.
