Napoxen is indicated for the relief of sign and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, acute gout, dysmenorrhea, and pain.
It is also indicated for the management of primary dysmenorrhea & pain.
Naproxen exerts its clinical effects by blocking COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes leading to decreased prostaglandin synthesis.
Naproxen oral preparations should be taken with water preferably after meals.
ACE inhibitors diminish the antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors.
Naproxen is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Naproxen.
Most frequently reported side effects include gastrointestinal, central nervous system, dermatological, cardiovascular, and other effects.
Naproxen causes a delay in parturition in animals and has been associated with premature closure of the ductus arteriosus and severe pulmonary hypertension in infants born to mothers taking Naproxen.
As with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, long-term administration of naproxen to animal has resulted in renal papillary necrosis and other abnormal renal pathology.
