Naprosyn EC (active ingredient: naproxen) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Osteoarthritis: Naprosyn EC is used to relieve the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, including pain, inflammation, and stiffness.
  2. Rheumatoid Arthritis: It is indicated for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, helping to reduce pain, swelling, and joint stiffness.
  3. Ankylosing Spondylitis: Naprosyn EC is used to manage the symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that affects the spine.
  4. Acute Gout: It is indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with acute gout attacks.
  5. Bursitis and Tendonitis: Naprosyn EC is used to treat inflammation of the bursa (bursitis) and tendons (tendonitis).
  6. Dysmenorrhea: It is also indicated for the relief of pain associated with primary dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain).

Naprosyn EC belongs to a class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which work by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.

Naprosyn EC is a tablet that is taken by mouth as directed by a doctor, usually twice daily with or without food. It should be swallowed whole and not be broken, crushed, or chewed, to avoid releasing the drug too quickly and increasing the risk of side effects. The tablet should be taken with a full glass of water unless otherwise directed by a doctor. After taking the drug, do not lie down for at least 10 minutes.

The dosage of Naprosyn EC is based on the patient’s medical condition and response to treatment. However, the typical starting dose for adults is 250 or 500 milligrams (mg) taken twice daily (in the morning and evening). The dose may be adjusted as needed. For treating acute pain, a 500mg dose may be taken initially, followed by 250mg every 6-8 hours as needed. The dosage may also differ for controlled-release formulations. To reduce the risk of stomach bleeding and other side effects, a doctor may prescribe the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Do not increase the dose or take the drug more often than directed.

For ongoing conditions like arthritis, patients should continue taking Naprosyn EC as directed by their doctor. It may take up to two weeks of taking the drug regularly for certain conditions such as arthritis to get the full benefit.
