  • Description

    Naproxen sodium is a valuable nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that alleviates pain and reduces inflammation. This medication functions by inhibiting the creation of prostaglandins, which are hormones that typically stimulate pain and inflammation when responding to injury or certain conditions. These hormones are inhibited by the enzymes cyclooxygenase (COX). Specifically, this drug targets COX-1 and COX-2. Naproxen sodium is formulated as a sodium salt variation, creating better absorbability when taken via oral consumption. This drug is often prescribed to individuals who experience pain from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other types of inflammation. It is also used to manage pain resulting from surgical procedures and dental work. While naproxen sodium is generally well-tolerated, it can produce side effects such as gastrointestinal irritation, dizziness, and increased risk of bleeding. It is important to discuss your medical history with your healthcare provider before using naproxen sodium. This is because individuals with certain pre-existing conditions, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), may experience adverse respiratory effects. Additionally, this medication can interact with other drugs, so it is important to inform your healthcare provider or pharmacist of any other medications you are taking to avoid any unwanted drug interactions. Naproxen sodium provides relief from inflammatory conditions and painful injuries or post-surgical procedures by reducing inflammation and pain transmission due to its inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes.

The medication can be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it with food or a snack to prevent an upset stomach. Swallow the tablets whole as breaking, crushing, or chewing the tablets can cause a sudden release of the drug which can increase the risk of side effects.

Naproxen Sodium may cause dizziness and drowsiness, do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how this medication affects you.
