How Does Naproxen Work?
Naproxen works by blocking the production of certain prostaglandins (group of lipids with hormone-like actions that your body makes primarily at sites of tissue damage or infection chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain).
It is used to reduce pain, swelling and inflammation from a variety of conditions, including arthritis, plantar fasciitis, gout and menstrual cramps. It can also be used to reduce fever and as a pain reliever for mild to moderate headaches.
Naproxen works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. It does this by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, substancs that play a role in pain and inflammation.
Naproxen helps to reduce pain, swelling and tenderness associated with arthritis, strains, sprains, and other minor injuries.
How long does Naproxen take to work?
The effects of Naproxen should be noticeable after an hour of taking it. However, it may take up to 3 consecutive days of taking Naproxen to reach peak effectiveness.
If you feel you need to take Naproxen for longer or you don't notice an improvement in your symptoms, speak to one of our online doctors.

How Do I Take Naproxen?
Naproxen tablets are taken twice daily with food to avoid a stomach ache.
You should take Naproxen around the same time every day.
Taking Naproxen alongside breakfast and your evening meal can help you to take them consistently and reduce the risk of side effects such as stomach ache.
Naproxen tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.
You should take the smallest quantity of Naproxen for the shortest time. Our online doctor will prescribe the most suitable dose for you during your consultation.

Do not take more Naproxen to make up for the missed dose.
What should I do if I accidentally take too much Naproxen?
If you accidentally take too many Naproxen tablets, seek immediate medical attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Naproxen affect my ability to drive or operate machinery?
Naproxen may cause dizziness, drowsiness or changes in vision. If you experience any of those side effects, you should not drive or operate machinery until you feel safe.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Naproxen?
You should not drink alcohol while taking Naproxen. Drinking alcohol while taking Naproxen can exacerbate irritation to the stomach and increase your risk of side effects such as heartburn and stomach bleeding.
Does Naproxen cause stomach aches?
Naproxen can cause stomach aches. If you experience any stomach pain that you believe is caused by Naproxen, speak to your doctor.
You can take Omeprazole alongside Naproxen to protect your stomach. Our doctor can issue a prescription for Omeprazole if you require it.
Why can't you lie down after taking Naproxen?
Naproxen can irritate the lining of the stomach and cause gastro-oesophageal reflux or heartburn. Therefore, it is recommended not to lie down shortly after taking medicine.
If you experience heartburn after taking Naproxen, speak to your doctor or ask a pharmacist for advice. Our online doctor may also be able to prescribe a heartburn treatment to take alongside Naproxen to prevent this side effect.
Can I take Naproxen and Ibuprofen together?
It is not recommended to take Naproxen and Ibuprofen together. This is because NSAIDs can irritate the lining of the stomach. Taking more than one NSAID can increase your risk of gastrointestinal problems such as stomach ache, heartburn, stomach ulcers, bleeding of the stomach and, in very rare cases, perforation of the stomach.
Can I take Naproxen with Paracetamol?
Yes, you can take Naproxen with paracetamol and opioid painkillers, such as Tramadol. However, you should only take pain relief medication for a short while. If you are unsure about what you can and cannot take with Naproxen, ask your doctor or a pharmacist for advice. Information on how to safely take Naproxen can be found in the patient information leaflet enclosed with your medicine.
How long can you take Naproxen?
How long you should take Naproxen depends on the reason you are taking it. For period pain, you may only need to take Naproxen for 1 or 2 days. People with chronic pain conditions, such as arthritis, may need to take Naproxen for longer. You should discuss your condition with your doctor - they will be able to determine how long you should take Naproxen to manage your condition.
Is Naproxen addictive?
Naproxen is not an addictive substance. However, if you find yourself using more Naproxen than prescribed to manage your condition, speak to your doctor. They may be able to prescribe an alternative pain medication that may be more suitable for you.
Will Naproxen affect my fertility?
According to the NHS, Naproxen and other NSAIDs in large quantities for extended periods may affect fertility in women. There is no substantial evidence to suggest that NSAIDs affect male fertility. If you are concerned about how a medication may affect your fertility, speak to your doctor or ask a pharmacist.
Will Naproxen affect my contraceptive?
Naproxen does not reduce the efficacy of contraceptive pills, including the combined contraceptive pill, the progestogen-only pill (mini pill) or the emergency contraceptive pill. If you have any concerns about how Naproxen may affect your contraception, ask one of our online doctors.
Is Naproxen available over the counter in the UK?
Naproxen can only be bought on prescription in the UK. Our registered prescribers are on hand to issue prescriptions for Naproxen. To renew your Naproxen prescription, simply fill out our short medical questionnaire for our doctor to review.
