What Experts Say

Doctors often recommend Rhynox for short term relief of pain and swelling, since naproxen provides longer lasting effects than many other common pain relievers. Its twice daily dosing makes it convenient for managing arthritis flares, sprains and menstrual pain without frequent dosing throughout the day.

Physicians advise taking this medicine with food or milk to protect the stomach lining and limit the chance of irritation. People with a history of ulcers, heart disease or kidney problems are usually told to avoid it or use it only under close medical supervision. Long treatment courses should always be reviewed by a doctor.

Experts caution against combining naproxen with other NSAIDs or aspirin, since this combination raises the risk of stomach bleeding. Anyone using it for more than ten days without noticeable improvement should see a doctor. Reporting black stools, chest pain or breathing difficulty right away is strongly advised for safety.
