Naproxen

Buy Naproxen Tablets Online

Naproxen is a prescription-only medicine that belongs to the same group of pain relief drugs as ibuprofen – non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This type of pain relief drug is better at reducing pain than over-the-counter medications and has proven to be effective in managing pain and inflammation.

This makes Naproxen an effective pain relief for a variety of pain symptoms. Most commonly, Naproxen is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and gout. However, Naproxen tablets are also suitable for relieving period pains, muscle disorders, and back pain. You can buy Naproxen sodium online from Pharmacy Online following a short consultation with a member of our pharmacy team.

When to Use Naproxen Tablets?

Naproxen tablets are painkillers that can reduce inflammation and pain. They're generally prescribed when traditional anti-inflammatory drugs aren't enough to reduce your symptoms.

Your doctor or a registered pharmacist may prescribe Naproxen in the following situations:

• Arthritis: Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis can cause long-term pain and discomfort, but as an anti-inflammatory medication, Naproxen can reduce your symptoms.
• Musculoskeletal Conditions: Many people with conditions such as gout, chronic back pain, tendinitis, and bursitis find that Naproxen provides relief when other anti-inflammatory medicines don't.
• Acute Pain: Naproxen can also be beneficial for severe menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) and migraines.

Naproxen Tablets Age Restrictions

Naproxen's age restrictions depend on how you're using it. For example, women aged between 15 and 50 can purchase some types of Naproxen at pharmacies for severe period pain, while a doctor may prescribe it for young children with musculoskeletal conditions.

How to Use Naproxen?

While Naproxen is an effective anti-inflammatory medication, it does come with some risks. When using the medication, please follow these instructions:

• Always use the lowest possible strength. Naproxen is available in 250mg and 500mg doses. Your pharmacist or doctor will advise which is best depending on your symptoms.
• If you're using Naproxen for an ongoing condition such as arthritis, it's best to try to take it at the same time every day.
• Always take Naproxen whole with a glass of water with or after eating. Long-term usage on an empty stomach can increase the risks of stomach upset, indigestion, and ulcers.
• Never take more than the recommended daily amount, as it can increase the risk of side effects.

When to Avoid Using Naproxen?

As a Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID), Naproxen poses some risks, and it's not suitable for everyone. If any of the following apply, you should avoid using it and seek alternatives:

• Allergies: If you have an allergy or are sensitive to NSAIDs or any of the ingredients in Naproxen, you should avoid using it, as it can result in a severe allergic reaction.
• Peptic Ulcers: People with peptic ulcers or a history of them shouldn't use Naproxen, as it can irritate existing ulcers or cause a recurrence.
• Recent Heart Bypass Surgery: Taking Naproxen before or after heart bypass surgery can increase the risks of a heart attack.
• Pregnancy: If you're in the last trimester of your pregnancy, you should avoid using Naproxen as it can harm the baby.

• Cardiovascular Conditions: A history of heart disease or high blood pressure could increase the risks of heart attacks while taking Naproxen.
