What Experts Say
Naproxen is a propionic acid derivative NSAID that blocks cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins responsible for pain, fever and inflammation. Its longer duration of action compared with some other NSAIDs allows twice daily dosing in most patients.
Because NSAIDs can irritate the stomach lining, doctors often advise taking naproxen with food and may prescribe a stomach protecting medicine alongside it for patients who need longer courses. Caution is needed in older adults and those with a history of ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding.
Naproxen also carries cardiovascular and kidney related risks, so doctors typically use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration needed, especially in patients with heart disease, high blood pressure or reduced kidney function. Regular blood pressure checks are advised during longer courses.
