Further Information
What It Is
Naproxen is an NSAID that works by reducing chemicals in the body responsible for causing pain and swelling. It is commonly prescribed to treat conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, period pain, and gout.
How It Is Used
Naproxen tablets are used for relieving pain and inflammation caused by different conditions. It’s effective in treating chronic conditions like arthritis, gout, and acute pain from injuries or menstrual cramps by reducing swelling, stiffness, and discomfort.
How to Use
Follow your doctor’s instructions when using Naproxen. Typically, for arthritis or musculoskeletal pain, the daily dose ranges from 500mg to 1g, divided into two doses. For gout, you’ll generally begin with 750mg, then reduce to 250mg every 8 hours. Swallow the tablets whole with water, ideally after meals to avoid stomach upset.
Side Effects
Common side effects include stomach discomfort, headaches, dizziness, and indigestion. In rare cases, serious side effects may occur, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, liver problems, or allergic reactions like difficulty breathing or swelling. If you notice severe symptoms like black stools, blood in vomit, or skin rashes, seek medical help immediately.
