naproksiini

Naproksiini is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID, commonly used to relieve pain, inflammation, and fever. It is available both over-the-counter and by prescription. Naproksiini works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are hormone-like substances that contribute to pain and inflammation in the body.

The drug is typically used to treat conditions such as arthritis, menstrual cramps, gout, tendonitis, and bursitis. It can also be effective in reducing fever associated with various illnesses. Naproksiini is usually taken orally, with or without food, although taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset.

Common side effects of naproksiini can include stomach pain, heartburn, nausea, and dizziness. More serious side effects, though less common, can involve gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and cardiovascular problems. It is important to use naproksiini at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration to minimize risks. Individuals with a history of stomach ulcers, kidney disease, heart problems, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a healthcare professional before using naproksiini. It can also interact with other medications, so informing a doctor or pharmacist about all current medications is crucial.
