Uses of Naproxen

USES:
Naproxen is used to relieve mild to moderate pain from various conditions. It reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis. Reducing these symptoms helps you do more of your normal daily activities. This medication is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

Enteric-coated tablets of naproxen are absorbed more slowly into your bloodstream than other forms of naproxen. Therefore, they should not be taken to relieve sudden pain (e.g., from gout attacks, menstrual pain, tendonitis, bursitis). Ask your doctor or pharmacist about other medications that can quickly relieve sudden pain from these conditions.
