Naprelan is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that has been licensed to treat arthritis symptoms and painful menstrual periods -- and also to relieve pain caused by a strained muscle or inflammation in a tendon, among other things. Naprelan works by blocking the effects of certain hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. The drug comes in a tablet that is taken by mouth. In order to reduce the chances of Naprelan side effects (such as headache), you should take the smallest effective dose of the drug for the least amount of time needed to treat your condition.
