Naproxen Caplets All Day Relief For Pain

Naproxen caplets are used to temporarily relieve minor aches and pains, such as those from arthritis, backaches, headaches, menstrual cramps, toothaches, and even the common cold, while also helping to reduce fever. It works by blocking certain substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Adults and children aged 12 and older should take 1 caplet every 8 to 12 hours as needed, and for the first dose, you can take 2 caplets within the first hour, but do not exceed 2 caplets in an 8 to 12-hour period or 3 caplets in a 24-hour period. A key warning to keep in mind is that naproxen can cause severe stomach bleeding, especially if you are over 60, have a history of stomach problems, or drink alcohol regularly. Additionally, if you are taking aspirin for heart attack or stroke prevention, be aware that naproxen may reduce the effectiveness of aspirin.
