Naprosyn (naproxen) is an NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain in several musculoskeletal and gynecologic conditions.

Mild to moderate pain: provides analgesic relief for acute or chronic pain. Osteoarthritis: decreases joint pain and improves mobility. Rheumatoid arthritis: reduces inflammation and slows disease‑related joint damage. Dysmenorrhea: alleviates menstrual cramps and associated discomfort.

Naproxen may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to severe.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal upset: dyspepsia, nausea, or abdominal discomfort. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness or vertigo. - Skin rash or pruritus. - Mild elevation of liver enzymes.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation. - Cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction or stroke. - Renal impairment or acute kidney injury. - Severe skin reactions including Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. - Hepatotoxicity with marked liver enzyme elevation.

When prescribing naproxen, clinicians should evaluate patient risk factors and follow safety guidelines.

Assess gastrointestinal risk: review history of ulcers or bleeding. Monitor renal function: check serum creatinine and electrolytes periodically. Avoid in patients with known hypersensitivity: discontinue if allergic reactions occur. Use lowest effective dose: limit duration to the shortest period necessary. Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Naproxen can interact with several medicines, influencing efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of serious bleeding. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): heightened bleeding risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: possible reduction in antihypertensive effect and renal function. - Methotrexate: decreased clearance leading to toxicity. - Lithium: increased serum lithium levels.
