What Is Prescription Naproxen?

Naproxen sodium and naproxen base are prescription-strength NSAIDs that reduce pain, fever, and inflammation. While lower-dose naproxen is sold OTC (as Aleve), prescription naproxen — at 375 mg or 500 mg doses — delivers stronger, longer-lasting relief for chronic and acute inflammatory conditions.

Conditions Treated

• Rheumatoid arthritis — reduces joint inflammation, pain, and morning stiffness
• Osteoarthritis — eases pain and improves joint function
• Ankylosing spondylitis — controls chronic spinal inflammation
• Acute gout attacks — rapidly reduces joint swelling and pain
• Bursitis and tendinitis — decreases soft-tissue inflammation
• Dysmenorrhea — relieves menstrual cramps

How Does Naproxen Work?

Naproxen inhibits both COX-1 and COX-2 cyclooxygenase enzymes, blocking the production of prostaglandins and thromboxanes that sensitize nerves and cause swelling. Its relatively long half-life (~12–17 hours) allows effective relief with just twice-daily dosing.

Dosage Overview

• Arthritis (chronic): 250 mg–500 mg twice daily
• Acute pain / dysmenorrhea: 500 mg initially, then 500 mg every 12 hours or 250 mg every 6–8 hours
• Acute gout: 750 mg initially, then 250 mg every 8 hours until attack subsides

Naproxen should be taken with food or milk to reduce stomach irritation.

Safety Considerations

Like all NSAIDs, naproxen carries a boxed warning for increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and GI bleeding. It should be avoided by people with a history of cardiovascular disease, active GI ulcers, or severe kidney disease.
