Uses Of Naprosyn AntiInflammatory Medication

Naprosyn Anti-Inflammatory Medication is used to treat pain and reduce inflammation. It is used to treat headaches, muscle aches, dental pain, menstrual cramps, arthritis, or athletic injuries. Some NSAIDs are also used to reduce fever. Naprosyn, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is used to relieve the inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis (the most common form of arthritis), juvenile arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis (spinal arthritis), tendinitis, bursitis, and acute gout; it is also used to relieve menstrual cramps and other types of mild to moderate pain.

How Does Naprosyn AntiInflammatory Medication Work?

Naprosyn EC tablets contain the active ingredient naproxen, which is a type of medicine called a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs are used to relieve pain and inflammation. (NB. Naproxen is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.)

Naproxen works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase (COX). Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in the production of various chemicals in the body, some of which are known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced by the body in response to injury and certain diseases and conditions, and cause pain, swelling and inflammation. Naproxen blocks the production of these prostaglandins and is therefore effective at reducing inflammation and pain.

Naproxen is used to relieve pain and inflammation in a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including various forms of arthritis, gout, muscle sprains and strains, back pain, neck pain and tendinitis. It can also be used to relieve period pain.

Naprosyn EC tablets have a special 'enteric coat' that is designed to prevent the tablet breaking down and releasing the naproxen in the stomach, and thus reduce the risk of it irritating the stomach. When the tablet reaches the intestine, the coating dissolves and the naproxen is absorbed into the bloodstream. The tablets should be swallowed whole and not broken or chewed to avoid damaging this coating.

How To Use Naprosyn AntiInflammatory Medication

Take Naprosyn Anti-Inflammatory Medication by mouth with a full glass of water (8oz. or 240ml) as directed by your doctor. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. If stomach upset occurs while taking Naprosyn Anti-Inflammatory Medication, take it with food, milk, or an antacid. Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking this drug. In certain conditions (e.g., arthritis), it may take up to two weeks, taken regularly, before the full benefit of this drug takes effect. If you use this for migraine headache, and the pain is not relieved or it worsens after the first dose, seek immediate medical attention.
