Daypro (active ingredient: oxaprozin) is a prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, swelling, stiffness, and inflammation caused by certain types of arthritis. Current U.S. prescribing information includes osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis among its approved uses.
Osteoarthritis
Daypro is used to relieve the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, a condition in which the protective cartilage within a joint gradually wears down.
Osteoarthritis commonly affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine and may cause:
Daypro can help reduce pain and inflammation, which may make movement and daily activities more comfortable.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Daypro is also used to relieve symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the tissues around the joints.
Rheumatoid arthritis can cause:
By reducing inflammation, Daypro can help decrease pain, swelling, and stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
Oxaprozin is also approved for the relief of signs and symptoms of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in certain pediatric patients. Dosing in children is based on body weight and should be determined by a healthcare provider.
Daypro belongs to a group of medications called NSAIDs.
Reduces Prostaglandin Production
When tissues are injured or inflamed, the body produces chemicals called prostaglandins. These substances contribute to pain, swelling, inflammation, and tenderness.
Oxaprozin reduces the production of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, or COX, enzymes involved in prostaglandin formation. This helps decrease inflammation and relieve arthritis symptoms.
Helps Relieve Joint Pain
By lowering prostaglandin production, Daypro can reduce pain signals associated with inflamed joints.
This may make activities such as walking, bending, climbing stairs, or using affected joints more comfortable.
Helps Reduce Swelling and Stiffness
Inflammation can cause joints to become swollen, stiff, and difficult to move.
Daypro’s anti-inflammatory effects can help reduce this swelling and stiffness, which may improve mobility and function over time.
Daypro does not cure osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
It is used to control symptoms such as pain, swelling, inflammation, and stiffness. The underlying arthritis may still require other treatments, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, where disease-modifying medications may be needed to control the autoimmune disease itself.
Oxaprozin is considered a relatively long-acting NSAID and is commonly dosed once daily for arthritis. The exact dose depends on the condition being treated, the patient’s age and weight, and their response to treatment.
Like other NSAIDs, Daypro can cause serious side effects, particularly involving the stomach, intestines, heart, blood vessels, and kidneys.
For this reason, prescribing information recommends using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration that meets the patient’s treatment goals.
Daypro helps relieve the pain, swelling, stiffness, and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It works by reducing the production of prostaglandins involved in pain and inflammation.
Take Daypro only as directed by your healthcare provider and do not increase the dose or take it more frequently than prescribed.
Daypro comes as an oral tablet and is usually taken once daily. Take it exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not take more than prescribed or use it more often than recommended.
For adults with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, the usual dose is 1,200 mg once daily, which is equal to two 600 mg tablets. Your healthcare provider may adjust the dose based on how well the medication works and how well you tolerate it.
In selected patients, the total daily dose may be increased. However, the maximum recommended dose is 1,800 mg per day or 26 mg/kg per day, whichever is lower. Higher doses are generally divided rather than taken all at once.
Swallow Daypro tablets with a full glass of water unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions.
Try to take the medication at about the same time each day to help you remember your dose.
Daypro may be taken with food if it causes stomach discomfort. Taking an NSAID with food or milk may make stomach upset easier to tolerate, but it does not completely prevent serious stomach or intestinal problems, such as ulcers or bleeding.
Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest amount of time needed to control your arthritis symptoms.
Do not increase the number of tablets or take Daypro more frequently because your pain is not improving quickly enough.
Oxaprozin is long-acting, and it may take several days of regular treatment to reach its full effect. Your healthcare provider should decide whether your dose needs to be changed.
If you forget to take Daypro, take the missed dose when you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose.
If your next dose is close, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
The original statement that adults routinely take 600 mg to 1,800 mg daily in one or two doses is too broad.
Current U.S. prescribing information recommends 1,200 mg once daily for both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Doses up to 1,800 mg daily may be used in selected patients, but this is an adjusted higher dose rather than the standard starting regimen.
The specific schedule of 1,200 mg in the morning and 600 mg in the evening is not the standard labeled regimen for every person taking 1,800 mg. Your healthcare provider should determine how a higher daily dose is divided.
Keep Daypro in its original container and store it according to the instructions provided by your pharmacist.
Do not flush unused or expired medication down the toilet or pour it into household drains unless specifically instructed to do so. Ask your pharmacist about medication take-back programs or the safest disposal method available in your area.
Take Daypro exactly as prescribed. For most adults with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, the usual dose is 1,200 mg once daily.
Do not increase your dose on your own, and contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms are not improving or if you develop significant side effects.
Daypro (Oxaprozin) is available in the following forms and strength:
Daypro, like other NSAIDs, can increase the risk of serious cardiovascular problems, including heart attack and stroke. These events can be life-threatening and may occur without warning. The risk may be higher with longer treatment, higher doses, or in people who already have heart disease or cardiovascular risk factors.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have heart disease, a previous heart attack or stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or if you smoke.
Daypro can cause serious problems in the stomach or intestines, including ulcers, bleeding, and perforation. These complications can occur at any time during treatment and may develop without warning symptoms.
The risk may be greater in older adults, people with a history of stomach ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding, and those who take blood thinners, corticosteroids, certain antidepressants, or other NSAIDs.
Seek medical attention promptly if you develop black or bloody stools, vomit that looks like blood or coffee grounds, or severe stomach pain.
Daypro can sometimes cause abnormal liver tests and, in rare cases, serious liver injury.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop possible signs of liver problems, such as unusual tiredness, loss of appetite, persistent nausea, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.
NSAIDs such as Daypro can reduce blood flow to the kidneys and may cause or worsen kidney problems.
The risk is higher in people who already have kidney disease, heart failure, liver problems, or dehydration, as well as in older adults and people taking certain blood pressure medicines or diuretics.
Tell your healthcare provider if you notice a significant decrease in urination, swelling in your legs or feet, or unexplained weight gain.
Daypro may cause new high blood pressure or make existing high blood pressure worse.
Your healthcare provider may check your blood pressure before and during treatment, especially if you already have hypertension or take medication to control your blood pressure.
Daypro may cause the body to retain fluid, which can lead to swelling and may worsen heart failure.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop swelling in your feet or ankles, sudden weight gain, or increasing shortness of breath.
Daypro can affect platelet function and may increase the risk of bleeding.
This risk may be greater if you take anticoagulants, antiplatelet medicines, corticosteroids, certain antidepressants, or other medications that increase bleeding risk. Tell your healthcare provider about all medicines and supplements you use before starting Daypro.
Serious allergic reactions can occur with Daypro, including anaphylactic reactions.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have previously had an allergic reaction to aspirin or another NSAID. Seek emergency medical attention if you develop difficulty breathing, severe swelling, hives, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Although uncommon, Daypro can cause serious and potentially life-threatening skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and exfoliative dermatitis. These reactions may occur without warning.
Stop taking Daypro and contact your healthcare provider immediately if you develop a new rash, blisters, peeling skin, mouth sores, or another unusual skin reaction.
Some people may experience dizziness, drowsiness, or reduced alertness while taking Daypro.
Until you know how the medication affects you, use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other activities that require concentration and coordination.
Older adults may be more vulnerable to serious NSAID-related side effects, particularly stomach or intestinal bleeding and kidney problems.
Healthcare providers may monitor older patients more closely and use the lowest effective dose for the shortest appropriate period.
Daypro can effectively reduce arthritis pain and inflammation, but it can also cause serious side effects involving the heart, stomach, intestines, kidneys, liver, and skin.
Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest treatment period recommended by your healthcare provider, and do not combine Daypro with other NSAIDs unless specifically instructed to do so.
Yes, but Daypro can interact with several medications. Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and supplements you take before starting treatment. Important interactions may include blood thinners, lithium, corticosteroids, certain blood pressure medicines, diuretics, methotrexate, and other NSAIDs. Some combinations can increase the risk of bleeding, kidney problems, or other serious side effects. Do not start, stop, or change another medication while taking Daypro without first checking with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
No. Daypro is not considered addictive and does not cause the cravings or dependence associated with addictive drugs. However, it should still be taken only as prescribed. Taking more than recommended or using it for longer than necessary can increase the risk of serious NSAID-related side effects, including stomach bleeding, kidney problems, heart attack, and stroke.
Daypro is an NSAID, and its use during pregnancy requires special caution. The FDA recommends avoiding NSAIDs such as oxaprozin at about 20 weeks of pregnancy or later unless specifically advised by a healthcare provider. NSAIDs used at this stage may cause kidney problems in the developing baby, which can lead to low levels of amniotic fluid.
The safety of oxaprozin during early pregnancy is not fully established. If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, talk with your healthcare provider before taking Daypro so they can determine whether the potential benefit outweighs the possible risks.
In addition to kidney problems and low amniotic fluid beginning around 20 weeks, NSAIDs used later in pregnancy can affect the baby’s cardiovascular system. In particular, oxaprozin should be avoided in late pregnancy because it may cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus, an important blood vessel in the developing baby. If you become pregnant while taking Daypro, contact your healthcare provider before taking additional doses.
