Naproxen is an NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain in several musculoskeletal and gynecologic conditions.

- Pain: alleviates mild to moderate acute or chronic pain. - Inflammation: diminishes swelling and redness associated with inflammatory processes. - Arthritis: improves joint mobility and reduces stiffness in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. - Dysmenorrhea: relieves menstrual cramps and associated discomfort.

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

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

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation. - Cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction or stroke. - Acute renal impairment or failure. - Severe skin reactions (e.g., Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis). - Hepatic dysfunction with elevated liver enzymes. - Anaphylactic or severe hypersensitivity reactions.

When prescribing or dispensing Naproxen, consider the following safety measures.

- Assess gastrointestinal risk: evaluate history of ulcers or bleeding. - Monitor renal function: especially in patients with chronic kidney disease. - Use the lowest effective dose: to minimise systemic exposure. - Avoid in known hypersensitivity: to naproxen or other NSAIDs. - Caution with cardiovascular disease: weigh benefits against thrombotic risk. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Naproxen can interact with several medicines; the severity varies.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Warfarin or other anticoagulants: increased bleeding risk. - Concomitant NSAIDs or aspirin: heightened gastrointestinal toxicity. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): elevated risk of bleeding.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: possible reduction in antihypertensive effect and renal function. - Diuretics: may enhance nephrotoxic potential, requiring renal monitoring.
