Naproxen

It is a medication that is used to provide pain relief from various ailments. Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID.

Naproxen works by blocking the body’s production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation.

Naproxen is beneficial in providing relief from pain from various conditions such as headaches, tendonitis, muscle aches, menstrual cramps, and dental pain. It is also beneficial in reducing the pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by gout attacks, bursitis, and arthritis.

You should read first the medication guide or patient information provided for in the information leaflet that comes with the product package before you start using Naproxen.  Ask your doctor or your pharmacist if you have any questions about the use and safety of the medication.

Take Naproxen by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually 2 or 3 times a day with a full glass of water. Avoid lying down within ten minutes after taking this medication. Take Naproxen with food, milk, or an antacid in order to avoid having an upset stomach.

To reduce the risk of stomach bleeding and other side effects, take Naproxen at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Do not increase your dose or take Naproxen more than directed by your doctor. For ongoing conditions such as arthritis, take this medication continuously as directed by your doctor. For arthritis, the full benefit of this drug may show after about two weeks of continuous use.

If you are taking Naproxen as needed, you should remember that pain medication like Naproxen works best when used as the first signs of pain occur. The medication may not work well if you wait until the pain has worsened.

Inform your doctor if your condition will not improve or if it will get worse.
