Ultravana Period Pain Relief Tablets

Ultravana Period Pain Relief Tablets contain naproxen 250mg, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that relieves pain, reduces inflammation and lowers fever. Each tablet has a gastro-resistant coating, meaning it passes through the stomach intact and is only released once it reaches the small intestine, rather than being absorbed in the stomach itself. Ultravana is licensed for women aged 15 to 50 who experience primary dysmenorrhoea (period pain that isn't caused by an underlying condition). On the first day of treatment, two tablets (500mg) are taken initially, followed by a further tablet (250mg) after 6–8 hours if needed; on the second and third days, one tablet is taken every 6–8 hours as required, up to a maximum of three tablets in any 24-hour period. Treatment should not continue for more than three days in any menstrual cycle. Tablets should be swallowed whole with water, with or after food, and should not be broken or crushed, as this would affect the gastro-resistant coating. Each dose can provide pain relief for up to 12 hours.
