Naproxen tablet uses?

Naproxen tablets are a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). They are used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever in appropriate situations.

Common uses include:
- Pain relief for mild to moderate conditions: headaches, dental pain, backache, muscle aches, strains and sprains.
- Menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea).
- Inflammation and pain from musculoskeletal conditions: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis.
- Inflammation-related conditions such as tendinitis and bursitis.
- Gout flares.
- Fever relief (in some formulations).

Safety notes:
- Take with food or milk to lessen stomach upset.
- Do not use if you have active stomach ulcers/bleeding, kidney disease, or a history of NSAID allergy; avoid in the third trimester of pregnancy unless advised by a clinician.
- Can interact with other NSAIDs, anticoagulants, and certain medications; tell your healthcare provider about all medicines you take.
- Don’t exceed the recommended dose or duration; long-term or high-dose use can increase risks of GI bleeding, kidney problems, and heart-related issues.

If you have a specific condition, product form (OTC naproxen sodium vs. prescription naproxen), or need dosing guidance, tell me and I can tailor the information.
