Naproxen
Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. It works by blocking certain natural substances in the body that cause these symptoms. Commonly taken for conditions like arthritis, muscle aches, or headaches, it helps alleviate discomfort and swelling. It’s available over-the-counter or by prescription, and should be used as directed to minimize potential side effects such as stomach upset or increased risk of bleeding. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting naproxen, especially if you have existing health issues or are taking other medications.
