Anaprox DS contains the active ingredient naproxen sodium. It is a prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID, used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.

Pain Relief

Anaprox DS may be used to treat mild to moderate pain from conditions such as:

  • Muscle aches
  • Back pain
  • Dental pain
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Other short-term painful conditions

Arthritis and Other Inflammatory Conditions

Anaprox DS may also be used to reduce pain, stiffness, swelling, and inflammation caused by conditions such as:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Juvenile arthritis

Tendonitis and Bursitis

Anaprox DS may be prescribed for tendonitis or bursitis.

These conditions can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness around the joints. Naproxen can help reduce both pain and inflammation.

How Anaprox DS Works

Anaprox DS belongs to a group of medications called NSAIDs.

Naproxen works by reducing the production of substances called prostaglandins.

Prostaglandins contribute to pain, swelling, and inflammation. By lowering their production, Anaprox DS can help relieve pain and improve inflammation-related symptoms.

Important Note

Anaprox DS helps control pain and inflammation, but it does not cure the underlying condition.

Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest amount of time needed, and take it exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Anaprox DS is taken by mouth as directed by your healthcare provider.

Take each dose with a full glass of water.

To reduce stomach irritation, you may take Anaprox DS with food, milk, or an antacid.

Take the Lowest Effective Dose

Your dose depends on the condition being treated, the severity of your symptoms, and how you respond to the medication.

Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest amount of time needed.

Do not take more tablets or take Anaprox DS more often than prescribed. Higher doses and longer treatment can increase the risk of stomach bleeding, kidney problems, and other serious side effects.

When Taking It for Pain

If you are using Anaprox DS only when needed for pain, it may work best when taken at the first signs of pain.

Waiting until the pain becomes severe may make it harder to control.

Avoid Lying Down Right Away

Try not to lie down immediately after taking Anaprox DS.

Remaining upright for a short time and taking the tablet with plenty of water may help reduce irritation of your throat and stomach.

What to Do If You Miss a Dose

If you take Anaprox DS on a regular schedule and miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember.

If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your normal schedule.

Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.

Use Anaprox DS Exactly as Prescribed

Do not increase your dose or continue treatment longer than recommended without speaking with your healthcare provider.

Contact your healthcare provider if your pain or inflammation does not improve, becomes worse, or you develop new symptoms.

Common Side Effects of Anaprox DS (Naproxen Sodium):

Serious Side Effects of Anaprox DS (Naproxen Sodium):

Anaprox DS (Naproxen Sodium) is available in the following forms and strength:

Anaprox DS: Tablet

  • 550 mg

Naproxen Sodium: Tablet

  • 550 mg

Stomach Ulcers and Bleeding

Anaprox DS can cause serious stomach or intestinal problems, including:

  • Ulcers
  • Bleeding
  • Perforation

These problems can happen without warning.

The risk is higher if you are older, have had stomach ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding before, take blood thinners or corticosteroids, or use Anaprox DS for a long time.

Seek medical attention right away if you notice black stools, vomiting blood, or severe stomach pain.

Heart Attack and Stroke Risk

Anaprox DS can increase the risk of serious cardiovascular problems, including heart attack and stroke.

This risk may begin early in treatment and can increase with longer use.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or other cardiovascular risk factors.

Anaprox DS should not be used around the time of coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG, surgery.

Kidney Problems

Naproxen can reduce kidney function, especially in people who already have kidney disease, are dehydrated, are older, or take certain blood pressure medications or diuretics.

Naproxen products are generally not recommended in people with creatinine clearance below 30 mL/min.

Your healthcare provider may check your kidney function during treatment.

Older Adults

Older adults may be more sensitive to some of the serious side effects of Anaprox DS, especially stomach bleeding and kidney problems.

The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest possible time.

Pregnancy

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

NSAIDs such as naproxen should generally be avoided from about 20 weeks of pregnancy onward unless specifically recommended by a healthcare provider.

Do not use Anaprox DS in the third trimester, because NSAIDs can cause serious problems for the developing baby.

Aspirin or NSAID Allergy

Do not take Anaprox DS if you have previously developed asthma, hives, or another allergic reaction after taking aspirin or another NSAID.

A serious allergic reaction can occur.

Seek emergency medical attention if you develop swelling, wheezing, hives, or difficulty breathing.

Asthma

Tell your healthcare provider if you have asthma.

People with aspirin-sensitive asthma may have a serious reaction to naproxen and should not use it.

Other people with asthma may also need closer monitoring.

Drug Interactions

Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements you take.

Anaprox DS may interact with:

  • Blood thinners
  • Aspirin
  • Other NSAIDs
  • Corticosteroids
  • Diuretics
  • ACE inhibitors
  • Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)
  • Lithium
  • Methotrexate

Some combinations may increase the risk of bleeding, kidney problems, or other side effects.

Increased Bleeding Risk

Anaprox DS can affect how platelets work and may make bleeding more likely.

If you take a blood thinner or another medication that increases bleeding risk, use Anaprox DS only under the guidance of your healthcare provider.

Dizziness or Drowsiness

Some people may feel dizzy or drowsy while taking Anaprox DS.

Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything that requires alertness until you know how the medication affects you.

Stomach Upset

Anaprox DS may be taken with food or milk if it causes stomach upset.

However, taking it with food does not completely prevent ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding.

Use the Lowest Effective Dose

Take Anaprox DS exactly as prescribed.

Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest amount of time needed to control your symptoms.

Do not increase your dose or take it more often without speaking with your healthcare provider.

When to Contact Your Healthcare Provider

Seek medical attention if you develop chest pain, trouble breathing, black stools, vomiting blood, severe stomach pain, severe swelling, reduced urination, or signs of an allergic reaction while taking Anaprox DS.

Can Anaprox DS cause drowsiness or dizziness?

Yes. Anaprox DS may cause dizziness or drowsiness in some people. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that requires alertness until you know how the medication affects you.

How long should I take Anaprox DS?

Take Anaprox DS for exactly as long as your healthcare provider recommends. The treatment length depends on the condition being treated, your symptoms, and your overall health. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest amount of time needed to reduce the risk of serious side effects such as stomach bleeding, kidney problems, heart attack, or stroke.

Is it safe to take Anaprox DS if I have heart disease?

Tell your healthcare provider if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or other cardiovascular risk factors before taking Anaprox DS. Naproxen can increase the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke, especially with higher doses or longer treatment. Your healthcare provider will decide whether Anaprox DS is appropriate for you and may recommend closer monitoring.
