Generic Naproxen: An Overview
Naproxen is a medication that has been licensed to treat several conditions. Some naproxen uses include:
- Pain relief, such as for pain following a medical procedure, caused by inflammation in a tendon (tendonitis) or bursa (bursitis), or from straining a muscle.
- Treatment of arthritis symptoms, including pain, stiffness, and swelling. Naproxen can be used to treat several different types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis (also known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis), ankylosing spondylitis, and gout. Naproxen does not cure arthritis.
