naproxen sodium + pseudoephedrine

**naproxen sodium + pseudoephedrine** is a fixed-dose combination drug used to temporarily relieve symptoms of the common cold and flu such as nasal and sinus congestion, sinus pressure, headache, minor body aches and pains, and fever. Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain, inflammation, and fever by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins through cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme blockade. Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine that acts as a nasal decongestant by causing vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the nasal mucosa via agonism at adrenergic receptors, reducing swelling and congestion. This combination is typically administered orally and provides multi-symptom relief for up to 12 hours.
