Brief Answer:
Napra D is a pain-killer

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have noted your father's clinical details. Based on this, he is suffering from headache. We need to find the root cause of his headache. For this, he may require a brain scan and a detailed neurological evaluation.

Napra-D contains a pain-killer Naproxen and it is a correct choice of medicine to relieve headache. However, its effect is temporary and it would not prevent headaches from coming in future.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health.
