Naproxen is used to lessen pain, swelling, and joint stiffness brought on by arthritis, bursitis, and gout episodes. It is also used to ease pain from a variety of ailments, including headache, muscular pains, tooth pain.
This drug, also referred to as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, acts by preventing your body from producing several naturally occurring molecules that cause inflammation.
Ask your doctor about non-drug treatments for chronic conditions like arthritis, as well as using other medications to treat your pain. Even if you have used a product in the past, read the ingredients on the label because the manufacturer may have changed them. Products with similar names may contain different ingredients intended for different purposes. Taking the wrong product could be harmful.
