What Experts Say
Naproxen works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes called COX-1 and COX-2. These enzymes produce prostaglandins, chemicals that trigger pain, swelling, and fever in the body. By lowering prostaglandin levels, naproxen reduces inflammation at its source rather than just masking discomfort.
Doctors commonly prescribe naproxen for chronic joint conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis because its effects last around 12 hours, allowing twice-daily dosing instead of four or five doses a day. Physicians also use it for acute gout flares and post-injury pain, usually at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration.
Hot, humid weather often worsens joint pain for people with arthritis, leading many households to keep an NSAID tablet on hand for quick relief. Buying painkillers directly from a pharmacy counter without a prescription is common, but using naproxen for more than a few days without medical advice can quietly harm the stomach lining or kidneys.
