What is Naproxen and what is it used for:
Naproxen, sold under the brand name Naprosyn, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, inflammation, and stiffness caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, menstrual cramps, and other types of pain. It is also used to reduce fever.
How to take Naproxen:
Naproxen is taken orally with or after food, usually twice a day. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment without consulting your doctor, as taking Naproxen for prolonged periods or at high doses may increase the risk of side effects.
Possible side effects of Naproxen:
Naproxen may cause some side effects, including:
Stomach pain or upset
Nausea or vomiting
Constipation or diarrhea
Headache
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Rash or itching
Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
Difficulty breathing
Yellowing of the skin or eyes (in rare cases)
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, hives, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Precautions and warnings for Naproxen:
Before taking Naproxen, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding, liver or kidney disease, high blood pressure, or heart disease. Naproxen may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners, antidepressants, and diuretics. It is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
Naproxen may increase the risk of serious cardiovascular events, such as heart attack or stroke, particularly in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions or risk factors. Close monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential during treatment with Naproxen.
Naproxen is not recommended during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. It may also pass into breast milk, so it is important to consult your doctor before taking Naproxen while breastfeeding.
It is important to attend regular doctor appointments and report any new or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider while taking Naproxen. Naprosyn (Naproxen) is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
