At The Family Chemist, we understand that period pain can be both uncomfortable and disruptive to your daily life. Therefore, we offer Naproxen, a trusted medication known for its effectiveness in relieving period pain.

What is Naproxen?

Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that provides relief from the discomfort associated with menstrual cramps and period pain. It works by reducing inflammation and easing the pain caused by uterine contractions.

The benefits of Naproxen for period pain

Pain relief: Naproxen is highly effective in providing relief from menstrual cramps and period-related pain, allowing you to go about your daily activities comfortably.
Anti-inflammatory: It has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation in the pelvic area, easing pain and discomfort.

The brand supplied may vary. Please contact us if you require a specific brand.

If you regularly take Naproxen and have a higher chance of developing a stomach ulcer, The Family Chemist recommends a PPI such as omeprazole or lansoprazole to safeguard your stomach. Please see the FAQs for more information.

Naproxen FAQs

What is naproxen?

As a prescription-only non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, Naproxen works by blocking the body’s inflammation-causing natural substances. This action can help alleviate symptoms of pain and inflammation.

How do I use naproxen?

To help you better understand, let me add some transition words to the text:

To manage period pain, please follow the instructions below:

Firstly, on the first day, take two tablets as soon as the pain starts. After 6 to 8 hours, take one more tablet if necessary.

Secondly, on the second day and onwards, take one tablet every 6 to 8 hours, if needed.

Lastly, please do not take more than three tablets in a 24-hour period for period pain.

What are the common side effects?

While it is possible that you may not experience any side effects, it is worth noting that the most commonly reported ones include gastrointestinal disturbances, headaches, ringing in the ears, dizziness, and rashes.

Who cannot take naproxen?

This medication may not be suitable for everyone including those who:

Are allergic to any NSAID medications (ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin)
Have a stomach ulcer, perforation, or bleeding
Have asthma
Have a history of liver, heart, kidney, or bowel problems
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Are taking any blood thinners

WARNING: Protect your stomach

Prior to purchasing naproxen tablets, it’s important to be aware of the potential impact on your stomach, especially when used over a long period of time.

Studies have demonstrated that the prolonged use of NSAIDs such as naproxen can result in the development of peptic ulcer disease. This condition is characterized by painful ulcers forming in the lining of the stomach or small intestine.

If you regularly take Naproxen and have a higher chance of developing a stomach ulcer, The Family Chemist recommends a medicine to safeguard your stomach.

A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) such as Omeprazole, is helpful in protecting the stomach while taking naproxen, an NSAID. By inhibiting the production of stomach acid, it significantly lowers the risk of stomach ulcers and other gastric issues.

Proton pump inhibitors are a type of medication that is frequently prescribed for the treatment of acid reflux, stomach ulcers, and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).

Prevention

Remember to consume naproxen with a meal or immediately after eating to safeguard your stomach and prevent discomfort. It is recommended that you take Omeprazole before eating to ensure adequate protection for the stomach lining when taking Naproxen.

To ensure the full absorption of Omeprazole into the body and prepare the stomach for Naproxen, take Omeprazole capsules in the morning before taking Naproxen.
