Naproxen relieves pain, fever, and inflammation as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzymes that generate prostaglandins. Among NSAIDs it stands out for a comparatively long half-life of 12 to 17 hours, which allows less frequent dosing than shorter-acting agents in the class. It is used for arthritis, menstrual cramps, headaches, and muscle aches. A small molecule (C14H14O3), it blocks both COX-1 and COX-2 without selectivity, so alongside symptom relief it can affect the stomach and kidneys that rely on baseline prostaglandin activity. Its extended duration reflects slow clearance rather than any difference in the underlying enzyme block. Naproxen is an approved analgesic and anti-inflammatory sold both over the counter and by prescription.

This non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) is widely used to relieve pain, reduce fever, and decrease inflammation from conditions such as arthritis, menstrual cramps, headaches, and muscle aches. It works by blocking enzymes that produce prostaglandins, the chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation.
