Buy Naproxen
Medical Information:
Naproxen Indications:
Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug
(NSAID) used to relieve pain and swelling (inflammation).
It is also used to treat headaches, muscle aches,
backaches, tendonitis, bursitis, dental pain, menstrual
cramps, arthritis, or gout. Naproxen may be used
to reduce fever, or relieve minor aches and pain
due to the common cold or flu. It may be used to
treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Naproxen works by blocking the enzyme in your
body that makes prostaglandins. Decreasing prostaglandins
helps to reduce pain, swelling, and fever.
How To Take Naproxen:
Follow the directions for using Naproxen provided
by your doctor or on the package. NAPROXEN MAY
BE TAKEN WITH FOOD, milk, or an antacid if it upsets
your stomach. TAKE NAPROXEN with a full glass
(8-oz./240 ml) of water as directed by your doctor.
DO NOT lie down for 30 minutes after taking Naproxen. If you use Naproxen for migraine headache,
and the pain is not relieved or worsens after the
first dose, tell your doctor immediately. FOR NONPRESCRIPTION
PRODUCTS: If you are treating yourself or giving
Naproxen to a child for undiagnosed fever or
pain, consult the doctor immediately if symptoms
do not improve within 24 hours, worsen, last more
then 3 days, or if new symptoms appear. STORE NAPROXEN at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees
F (15-30 degrees C) in a tightly-closed container,
away from heat, moisture, and light. IF YOU MISS
A DOSE OF NAPROXEN, take it as soon as possible.
If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the
missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule.
Do not take 2 doses at once.

you ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to
aspirin, ibuprofen, celecoxib, or any other medicine
used to treat pain, fever, swelling, or arthritis.
NAPROXEN MAY CAUSE stomach bleeding. Daily use
of alcohol and tobacco, especially when combined
