This product contains Naproxen Sodium which belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (also known as NSAIDs). Like other NSAIDs, Naproxen Sodium works by changing the body’s chemical response to pain, swelling and fever resulting in relief of symptoms of inflammation (e.g., swelling, redness) and relief of pain and/or fever.

Like other NSAIDS, the lowest effective dose of naproxen sodium should be used for the shortest possible time. This medicine is given orally (by mouth). Drink a full glass of water with each dose.
