Medicine Description navoproxin 50mg
Navoproxin 50 mg supp is a medication that contains meclizine hydrochloride, an antihistamine that primarily acts on the central nervous system. It works by blocking the action of histamine at H1 receptors, which helps to reduce the stimulation of the vomiting center in the brain.
