Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used to treat mild to moderate pain, fever, inflammation, and stiffness caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, injury, menstrual cramps, and tendinitis. It is also used to treat primary dysmenorrhea. It works by reducing mediators that cause pain and inflammation in the body. Although it requires a larger dosage than other NSAIDs, naproxen binds strongly to albumin and thus has a longer half-life in the blood than other drugs. The sodium salt of Naproxen, Naproxen sodium, is absorbed more quickly from the gastrointestinal tract.
