NAPROSYN 500 10 Tablets

Naprosyn 500 Mg 

Naprosyn 500 belongs to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID) class of pain relievers (NSAIDs). Naprosyn 500 is used to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis (pain and stiffness in the backbone), cervical spondylitis (wear and tear of the spinal discs in the neck), and acute gout (severe pain due to excess of uric acid).

Naprosyn 500 acts by inhibiting the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme, which is involved in the formation of chemical compounds such as prostaglandins, which induce pain and swelling in the body. As a result, it aids in the relief of pain and swelling associated with various forms of arthritis. Fibrositis (muscle pain and stiffness), tenosynovitis (tendon swelling), low back pain, strains, and sprains are also treated with it. Arthritis is a disorder in which one or more joints enlarge, causing pain and stiffness in the joints that gets worse with time.

Naprosyn 500 should be taken with or after food and swallowed whole with a small amount of water. It should not be crushed, chewed, or broken. Based on your medical condition, your doctor will tell you how often you should take your medications. Indigestion, heartburn, stomach discomfort, nausea, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, bruises, itching, rash, and ringing in the ears are all possible side effects. The majority of these Naprosyn 500 side effects do not require medical care and will go away over time. Please visit your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Please inform your doctor if you are allergic to Naprosyn 500 or any other medications. Before using Naprosyn 500, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Alcohol should not be used while taking Naprosyn 500 since it increases the risk of stomach bleeding. Naprosyn 500 may raise the chance of serious heart disorders such as myocardial infarction and stroke, both of which are potentially fatal. It should not be used by anyone who has recently had or is about to have heart bypass surgery. Naprosyn 500 raises the risk of serious gastrointestinal problems such bleeding, ulcers, and stomach or intestine perforation, which can be fatal.

Naprosyn 500 is used to treat joint pain and menstrual cramps.

Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

Arthritis is a disorder in which one or more joints enlarge, causing pain and stiffness in the joints that gets worse with time. There are several forms of arthritis, the most common of which being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Joint pain, stiffness, redness, tenderness, swelling in and around joints, and restricted joint movement are all symptoms of arthritis. Age, obesity, past joint damage, and family history all raise the risk of arthritis. Medication, physiotherapy, and, in certain cases, surgery may help to alleviate arthritic symptoms and improve quality of life.

FAQs

Menstrual cramps can be relieved by naproxen. Naproxen is a pain reliever that reduces the creation of the chemical messenger prostaglandin (PG) in the body, which is responsible for making the uterus (womb) contract during periods.

Because naproxen is a pregnancy category C medication, it is best to consult your doctor before taking it. It may cause infertility in women by inhibiting ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary) and lowering progesterone levels. This effect, however, is just transitory, and ovulation usually returns to normal after one month of quitting Naproxen. However, if you are considering a pregnancy or are having trouble conceiving, consult your doctor before taking Naproxen.

It is not suggested that you use Naproxen with warfarin since the two drugs together may raise the risk of bleeding. Please see a doctor right away if you notice blood in your urine or stools, dizziness, unusual bleeding or bruises, vomiting, weakness, or a headache. If you need to take these medications together, talk to your doctor about how the dose should be changed so that you can take them safely.
