Table of contents:

Naprosyn SR is a prescription medication used to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and chronic pain states where there is an inflammatory component.

Naprosyn contains the active ingredient naproxen and is available in various strengths such as 750 Mg Tablet SR. It belongs to the family of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). It works by reducing the amount of certain chemicals produced by your body that cause pain and swelling.

Use and Dosage

Naprosyn SR is a medication that is available in the form of sustained-release oral tablets, which are commonly known as SA tablets. These SA tablets are designed to release the medication slowly over a prolonged period, allowing for a steady and consistent dose of the medication to be delivered into the bloodstream.

Take Naprosyn SR orally, typically by swallowing the SA tablet with water. Swallow the tablets whole, and do not crush or chew them. Do not lie down for about 15 minutes to 30 minutes after taking the medication. It is best to take it after a meal, or with food or milk.

The exact dosage and frequency of use will depend on the individual's unique medical circumstances and should be determined by a healthcare provider. Follow the instructions provided by the prescribing physician or listed on the medicine packaging to ensure that the medication is taken correctly and safely. Note that the medication should not be taken more frequently or at higher doses than recommended, as this can increase the risk of experiencing adverse side effects.

Take Naprosyn SR Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
