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.

Dosage & Directions

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.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
