Torex-IR

Introduction

Torex-Ir 550mg Tablets (1 strip = 10 tablets) contain Naproxen Sodium, a strong pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medicine prescribed when regular painkillers aren’t enough — especially in arthritis, joint stiffness, muscle pain, or menstrual cramps. It’s part of the NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) family, which helps reduce pain, swelling, and fever. This is not an over-the-counter pill — it requires a doctor’s supervision, especially for long-term use.

Primary Uses

Torex-Ir is used for relief in:

• Rheumatoid Arthritis.

• Osteoarthritis.

• Ankylosing Spondylitis.

• Juvenile Arthritis.

• Tendonitis / Bursitis (joint inflammation).

• Acute Gout attacks.

• General pain management.

• Menstrual pain (primary dysmenorrhea).

Indications

Doctors prescribe Torex-Ir when there is pain with inflammation, such as:

• Swollen joints.

• Back or neck stiffness.

• Sharp muscle or tendon pain.

• Feverish pain from gout or injury.

How It Works

Naproxen blocks prostaglandins — natural chemicals that cause pain, swelling, and fever during inflammation. By reducing their production, it lowers pain intensity and improves movement, especially in arthritis or muscle-related pain.

Side Effects

Some users may experience:

• Headache, dizziness, or drowsiness.

• Stomach discomfort or nausea.

• Itching or skin rashes.

• Ringing in ears (tinnitus).

• Swelling (edema) or palpitations.

• Difficulty breathing or unusual thirst.

If any symptom feels intense or persistent, stop use and consult a doctor.

Warnings

Warning 1: May cause fluid retention or edema, especially in patients with heart or kidney issues.
Warning 2: Can raise blood pressure or worsen pre-existing hypertension, increasing the risk of heart complications.
Warning 3: Long-term use may lead to serious stomach issues such as ulcers, bleeding, or intestinal damage — seek urgent help if you notice black stools or severe abdominal pain.

Contraindications

Do not use Torex-Ir if:

• You are allergic to Naproxen or other NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen or Aspirin).

• You’ve had asthma or allergic reactions after taking painkillers.

• You have active stomach ulcers or severe gastric issues.

Precautions

• Do not combine with other Naproxen products.

• Not a substitute for steroids — do not suddenly stop steroid medication when switching.

• Use with caution if you have heart, kidney, or liver conditions.
