What is Naproxen?

Naproxen is a powerful pain reliever from the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) family. This group also includes well-known medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and diclofenac. Naproxen provides stronger anti-inflammatory relief than aspirin and ibuprofen, and its strength is similar to diclofenac but with fewer side effects and risks.

Naproxen is effective in treating pain caused by inflammation, such as sprains and strains. It is also used to manage symptoms of various types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile arthritis. This medication is available for adults over 18 years of age. Each pack contains 56 tablets, with available strengths of 250mg or 500mg.

To avoid stomach issues, Naproxen should be taken with food. If you’re using Naproxen for more than two weeks, it is recommended to also take a stomach-protecting treatment, such as Omeprazole, to reduce the chances of side effects.

What is Naproxen Used For?

Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain and inflammation. It works by lowering the hormones that cause swelling. Naproxen is commonly used to treat conditions like muscle pain, rheumatoid arthritis, menstrual cramps, and gout. You can purchase Naproxen online from courierpharmacy.co.uk after completing an online consultation form.

How Does Naproxen Work?

Naproxen works by blocking the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes in the body. These enzymes produce prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain and inflammation at injury sites. By inhibiting COX enzymes, Naproxen reduces the production of prostaglandins, which helps to lessen pain and swelling. This makes it effective for treating conditions like arthritis, muscle pain, and other inflammatory disorders.
