Naproxen (Naprosyn EC) 500mg is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated to reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness. The enteric-coated (EC) design allows the tablet to pass through the stomach before dissolving, helping minimize stomach irritation. It is commonly prescribed for arthritis, back pain, muscle injuries, tendonitis, gout attacks, and menstrual cramps. Naproxen works by blocking substances in the body that cause inflammation and pain. This medication should be taken with water and exactly as directed by a healthcare professional. It may not be suitable for people with stomach ulcers, kidney problems, or certain heart conditions.

Always use under medical supervision and avoid exceeding the prescribed dose.
