What Experts Say

Naproxen relieves pain and reduces inflammation by blocking prostaglandins, the chemicals responsible for swelling and pain, and its longer action allows twice daily dosing.

It is widely used for period pain, migraine and joint conditions, generally taken with food to protect the stomach.

Like other NSAIDs, it should not be used beyond about ten days without medical advice unless a doctor has prescribed longer term use, since prolonged use raises the risk of stomach irritation and other side effects.
