How Naprosyn Gel + works

Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). When applied to the skin, it reduces the formation of prostaglandins at the site of application, thereby decreasing pain, swelling, and inflammation with minimal systemic absorption compared to oral NSAIDs.

How to take Naprosyn Gel +

For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area and gently rub in 2-3 times daily or as directed by a physician. Wash hands after use. Avoid application on broken/irritated skin, near eyes/mouth, and avoid occlusive dressings unless advised.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Naprosyn as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Naprosyn than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
