Naproxen 250mg Tablets
SKU GME749Product Introduction
Naproxen 250mg is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine used for painful inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, gout attacks and musculoskeletal pain. It is also used for menstrual pain in suitable patients.
How to use
Take the prescribed tablet schedule with or just after food and swallow with water. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary period. Do not combine it with ibuprofen, diclofenac or another NSAID unless the prescriber has explicitly arranged this.
How it works
Naproxen inhibits cyclo-oxygenase enzymes and reduces prostaglandin production. This lowers the inflammatory signaling that contributes to pain and swelling.
Side effects
Indigestion, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dizziness, headache or fluid retention can occur. Black stools, vomiting blood, severe skin reactions or sudden chest pain require urgent care.
Important information
Tell your doctor about past ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding, NSAID-triggered asthma, heart failure and kidney disease. Anticoagulants, corticosteroids and some antidepressants increase bleeding risk. Avoid from 20 weeks of pregnancy unless specifically necessary under obstetric supervision, and avoid from 30 weeks because of fetal kidney and heart risks.
Uses
- Arthritic and musculoskeletal pain with inflammation. Acute gout and menstrual pain in appropriate regimens.
Benefits
Reduces pain, stiffness and swelling so movement and daily activity may become easier. It does not reverse joint damage or remove the cause of gout.
Is naproxen an antibiotic?
No. It relieves pain and inflammation but does not treat a bacterial infection.
Does taking it with food remove the risk of ulcers?
No. Food can reduce stomach irritation but does not prevent NSAID-related ulceration or bleeding. Additional stomach protection may be needed.
Can I take low-dose aspirin at the same time?
Do not stop prescribed aspirin yourself, but ask for an interaction review. Combining aspirin with naproxen can increase bleeding risk and may affect aspirin's antiplatelet action.
Can naproxen be taken with paracetamol?
A short combined course can sometimes be appropriate, but total doses and other pain products need checking. Avoid adding another NSAID.
Why are water tablets and blood-pressure medicines relevant?
Diuretics and medicines such as ACE inhibitors or ARBs can increase kidney risk when combined with an NSAID, particularly during dehydration.
Can it be used repeatedly for gout without other treatment?
It treats the pain and inflammation of an attack, not the underlying urate burden. Recurrent attacks may need a separate urate-lowering plan.
What if I develop ankle swelling or pass less urine?
Contact your clinician promptly. Fluid retention or kidney effects may require stopping or changing the treatment.
Are naproxen and naproxen sodium the same tablet strength?
The salt changes the labeled mass. Do not assume that the same number of milligrams or tablets is an equivalent dose without checking the formulation.
