 Naproxen is a painkiller belonging to a class of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Other well-known NSAIDs include aspirin, ibuprofen and diclofenac. Naproxen is a stronger anti-inflammatory than aspirin and ibuprofen; it is thought to be similar in strength to diclofenac but carries fewer risks and side effects.

It can be used to treat pain where there is also inflammation present such as sprains, strains and mild arthritis.

To help with inflammation and healing, the body release chemicals known as Prostaglandins. When these chemicals are released, as well as the benefits, they also cause some negative side effects such as pain and fever.

These Prostaglandins are produced by an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX). Naproxen and other NSAIDs work to reduce the amount of COX-1 and COX-2 that are produced and as a consequence, any ongoing inflammation, pain or fever is reduced.

Whilst the COX-2 enzyme is the one that creates prostaglandins that cause pain and fever, the COX-1 enzyme helps protect the stomach lining from any damaging effects of acid. This is why when sometimes taking NSAIDs or Naproxen, your stomach can produce ulcers and promote bleeding.

Naproxen 250mg and Naproxen 500mg are typically used for pain relief. It helps reduce inflammation and pain in a person’s joints and muscles.

This should answer the question of what is Naproxen used for.

Naproxen is provided as a tablet, which frequently is prepared in a way that protects the stomach. Thus, the tablet may have a gastro-resistant or enteric coat or have a modified-release mechanism to stop it from disintegrating in the stomach and allowing it to be broken down in the intestines. If it does not have this stomach-protecting property then you may be given an additional tablet that will do this.

The dose and frequency of Naproxen will depend on what disorder you have and your age. If you are older than 64 years or have liver and/or kidney problems, or the medicine is for a child, the dose will be less than the usual adult dose. Take this medicine with water, and as you eat your dinner or after it. You should take Naproxen only for as long as you need to, and so your doctor will want you to have regular check-ups. Only take the dose that you are told to – if you take more, then go for medical assistance straight away; if you missed a dose – then skip it, and carry on as scheduled.

Online Mens Clinic provides two strengths: Naproxen 250mg and Naproxen 500mg. Our prescriber will prescribe the most appropriate dosing schedule for your condition. 

Before taking Naproxen and Alcohol together, you should ask your doctor. Naproxen and Alcohol can increase the risk and chance of stomach bleeding.

If Naproxen and alcohol are taken together and you suddenly notice any of the symptoms of stomach/intestinal bleeding, call your doctor immediately. These symptoms include black, tarry or bloody stool or any coughing that brings up blood/vomit that appears like coffee grounds.

Do not stop taking or using the medication unless told to do so by your doctor.

Taking Naproxen and Paracetamol together is fine. Naproxen and Paracetamol can be taken during different periods during the day. Naproxen is a 12-hour medicine, so taking some paracetamol in-between doses of Naproxen can help with any pain until the next dose of Naproxen should be taken.

Naproxen and Ibuprofen should not be taken together. They are both NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and should not be taken within 8-12 hours of one another. Naproxen and Ibuprofen both work the same way and have the same side effects.

Naproxen over the counter is not available.
