Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used to relieve pain, inflammation, and fever. It is especially recommended for conditions such as arthritis, muscle pain, back pain, menstrual cramps, or other types of moderate pain. Naproxen works by blocking substances in the body that cause inflammation and pain.

Naproxen is usually taken orally, in the form of tablets or capsules, and the dose is determined by the doctor based on age, weight, and the condition being treated. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose and to follow your doctor's instructions to avoid the risk of side effects.

Common side effects of naproxen include stomach pain, nausea, heartburn, or dizziness. In rare cases, more serious reactions may occur, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, severe allergic reactions, or impaired kidney function. If you notice any unusual symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.

Naproxen is an effective medication for controlling pain and inflammation, but its use requires caution, especially in people with gastric, kidney, or cardiovascular conditions. Always consult your doctor before starting treatment and inform them about any other medications you are taking.
