Buying Naprosyn online
Generic naproxen, much of it made in India, is far more affordable than the original brand from Roche, offering a practical alternative for expats and people far from a well-stocked supply.
What you will receive
Naprosyn is the originator brand name, made by Roche. We use it here to identify the medicine only; we are not affiliated with Roche and do not ship the original Naprosyn.
- You receive a generic equivalent: the same active ingredient (Naproxen) at the same dose, mostly recognised Indian branded generics from vetted manufacturers.
- The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
- A regulated generic matches the original ingredient for ingredient by legal standard.
