Answer 3

It is a Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID).Basically, naproxyn (aka naproxen) is a pain relieving drug available both by prescription and over the counter (usually under the Aleve brand name). It has been in existence since 1976 and has been available over the counter over 15 years now and is considered a generally safe medicine for common pain relief.

As an NSAID, it has more in common with ibuprofen (Advil) and aspirin (Bayer) than with acetaminophen (Tylenol). As such, the primary risk factor is not to the liver but to the stomach. It can potentially hurt the stomach: especially if your stomach already has other conditions like ulcers, so doctors normally say to take it with food.

Answer 4

It is simply a stronger dose of the stuff you find in an Aleve.The non-prescription form limits the dosage to 200mg of naproxen per pill. Prescription-strength naproxen can be as strong as 550mg per pill, depending on the brand.

Answer 5

It is a drug in the NSAID (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) group. It reduced inflammation causing a number of discomforts. Naproxen is stronger than the more popular Ibuprofen, however it is typically more safe to take ibuprofen on a regular basis. 500 mg is a strong dose.
