What is Naproxen?

Naproxen is a powerful pain relief medication classified as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It belongs to the same group as ibuprofen, aspirin, and diclofenac but provides stronger anti-inflammatory benefits than aspirin and ibuprofen while carrying fewer risks compared to diclofenac.

This medication is commonly used to relieve pain caused by inflammation, such as sprains, strains, and arthritis. It is particularly effective for conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile arthritis. Naproxen is available for adults over 18 years old and comes in 250mg or 500mg tablet strengths, with each pack containing 56 tablets.

To protect your stomach, always take Naproxen with food. If you need long-term treatment (more than two weeks), a stomach-protective medicine like Omeprazole may be recommended.

What is Naproxen used for?

Rheumatoid arthritis
Menstrual cramps
Gout

How does Naproxen work?

Naproxen reduces pain and inflammation by blocking cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins. These chemicals contribute to swelling and discomfort at injury sites. By lowering prostaglandin levels, Naproxen helps relieve symptoms of arthritis, muscle pain, and other inflammatory conditions.
