What Experts Say
Naproxen belongs to the same NSAID family as ibuprofen but has a longer duration of action, which is why it is often dosed just once or twice a day instead of every four to six hours. It works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes to reduce prostaglandin production at sites of pain and inflammation.
Doctors frequently prescribe naproxen for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic back pain, particularly when patients need sustained relief through the day and night. The 750mg strength is generally used for more significant pain, often as an extended release formulation.
Because naproxen carries the usual NSAID risks to the stomach, kidneys, and heart, most physicians advise taking it with food and avoiding long term use without follow up, especially in older adults or anyone with existing heart or kidney conditions.
