How Does Naproxen Work?
When you experience an injury or inflammation, such as arthritis or gout, your body produces chemicals called prostaglandins. Naproxen works by blocking these chemicals, helping to reduce pain, swelling, and redness.
Like other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, naproxen reduces inflammation. However, it may remain active in the body for longer, meaning it often needs to be taken less frequently than other pain relief medications.
