For more information on the prescription medication patients should refer to the Naproxen patient information leaflet.

Naproxen is a chronic pain relief treatment that works by blocking the body’s production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation called prostaglandins (Healthline, 2020; Verywell Health, 2023).

Naproxen is a medicine that is beneficial in providing relief from acute pain to moderate pain and minor aches from various conditions such as headaches, tendonitis, muscle aches, menstrual cramps, and dental pain (WebMD, 2024). It is also beneficial in reducing the pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by gout attacks, bursitis, and rheumatoid arthritis. The treatment contains naproxen sodium.

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 as a treatment. 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 with a full glass of water (NHS, 2022). Avoid lying down within ten minutes after taking this medication (WebMD, 2024). Take Naproxen with food, milk, or an antacid in order to avoid having an upset stomach.

To reduce the risk of stomach bleeding, a stomach ulcer and other serious side effects, such as high blood pressure (Healthline, 2023), take Naproxen at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time (NHS, 2022). 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 rheumatoid 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 as a treatment 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 or healthcare provider if your condition does not improve or if it gets worse.

The usual dose of Naproxen is dependant on the health condition being treated and should be dosed as directed by your doctor. The dosage of this medication is based on your medical condition and your response to the treatment. For example, according to the NHS (2022) typically for:

• Muscle pain and bone disorders and painful period pain / menstrual pain - take 500mg initially, then 250mg every 6-8 hours as required
• Gout attacks - take 750mg, then 250mg every 8 hours until the gout attack has passed
• Joint conditions - 500mg - 1000mg a day in 1 or 2 doses

Tiredness, drowsiness and dizziness (all of which are linked to feeling sleepy) are reported common side effects of Naproxen (NHS, 2022).
