Feminax Ultra Gastro-resistant Tabs X 9

These tablets contain 250 mg of naproxen. This medicine is used to treat period pain (also called menstrual pain or dysmenorrhoea). Naproxen belongs to a group of painkillers called Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (also called NSAIDs). Other medicines in this group include ibuprofen and aspirin.

Each white round coated tablet contains 250 mg of naproxen, which is the active medicine. The tablet is gastroresistant (also known as enteric coated). This means that it is covered with a coating which stops the tablet dissolving in the stomach, so that the naproxen is released further down in your gut.

The tablets also have inactive contents: lactose, maize starch, polyvidone, sodium starch glycollate and magnesium stearate. Also, the coating contains colloidal silicon dioxide, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, polyethylene glycol, stearic acid, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate, purified talc, triethyl citrate, the colour titanium dioxide (E171) and black printing ink.
