Here’s a comprehensive description of Naproxen Sodium tablets, including key features, usage instructions, precautions, and potential side effects:

Key Features:

1. NSAID: Naproxen Sodium is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), which works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation.
2. Pain Relief: Aleve tablets provide effective relief from various types of pain, including arthritis pain, menstrual cramps, headache, dental pain, and muscle aches.
3. Anti-Inflammatory: In addition to pain relief, Naproxen Sodium also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful in reducing swelling and inflammation associated with conditions such as arthritis.
4. Extended Duration: Aleve tablets are formulated for extended duration of action, providing relief for up to 12 hours with a single dose.

2. Administration: Aleve tablets are usually taken orally with a full glass of water. They should be swallowed whole and should not be crushed or chewed.
3. Frequency: Naproxen Sodium is typically taken every 8 to 12 hours as needed for pain relief. Do not exceed the recommended dosage or frequency unless directed by your healthcare provider.
4. Duration: Use Naproxen Sodium for the shortest duration necessary to relieve your symptoms. Long-term use of NSAIDs may increase the risk of adverse effects.

2. Cardiovascular Risk: NSAIDs, including Naproxen Sodium, may increase the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke, particularly with long-term use or in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease.
3. Renal Function: Naproxen Sodium can affect kidney function, especially in patients with pre-existing kidney disease or dehydration. Regular monitoring of renal function and hydration status may be necessary.
4. Allergic Reactions: Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of allergic reactions to NSAIDs or any other medications.

2. Serious Side Effects: Although rare, Naproxen Sodium may cause serious side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding, liver damage, kidney problems, allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), or cardiovascular events. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms.
