What is this medication? Naproxen sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, commonly referred to as an NSAID. It is primarily used to reduce inflammation, relieve various types of pain, and lower fevers. People often take this medication to manage symptoms associated with conditions such as headaches, toothaches, back pain, and muscle aches. It is also effective at alleviating the discomfort caused by minor aches associated with the common cold or flu. In addition to treating minor aches, naproxen sodium is frequently used for the long-term management of inflammatory conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It also provides significant relief from menstrual cramps and other types of periodic pain. The medication works by temporarily blocking the bodys production of specific natural substances that cause inflammation, thereby helping to reduce swelling and discomfort for extended periods.
