What Experts Say

Naproxen belongs to the NSAID family of pain relievers, the same broad group as ibuprofen and diclofenac. It works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes that produce prostaglandins, the chemicals responsible for pain, swelling, stiffness and fever in the body.

Compared to some other NSAIDs, naproxen has a longer duration of action, so its pain relieving effect can last up to 12 hours per dose. This makes it a common choice for period pain, arthritis flare ups and musculoskeletal injuries that need sustained relief without frequent redosing.

Like all NSAIDs, naproxen carries a risk of stomach irritation, especially when taken on an empty stomach or for more than a few days at a time. Doctors recommend taking it with food, using the lowest effective dose, and avoiding it in people with a history of stomach ulcers, kidney disease or heart problems.
