Frequently asked questions about Naproxen
Q. What is Proxidom 500 Tablet?
Proxidom 500 Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Naproxen and Domperidone. This combination helps in relieving the symptoms of migraine like headache, nausea and vomiting.

It increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily through the stomach. This helps in relieving vomiting.
