How it works

Nupatch 200mg patch, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), functions by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemical compounds that play a role in pain, inflammation, and fever. Through the inhibition of prostaglandin production, Nupatch 200mg patch effectively alleviates pain, reduces inflammation, and lowers fever.

How to Use

Take the Nupatch 200mg patch as your physician advises. Read the label carefully before using it. Clean the area of skin where you will apply the patch. Remove the backing from the patch and apply it to the skin, ensuring the entire patch is in contact with the skin. Your physician will decide the correct dosage and duration based on age, body weight, and disease condition. Only stop taking this if your doctor advises you to stop.
