Understanding Naproxen: Your Powerful Ally Against Pain & Inflammation
Naproxen is a trusted nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that has been helping Filipinos manage arthritis, gout, menstrual cramps, and muscle pain for decades. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition, you can be confident this is a government-approved, evidence-based treatment for pain and inflammatory conditions.
How Naproxen Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your body is like a house with a fire alarm that keeps going off (inflammation and pain). Naproxen acts like a "fire extinguisher" that targets the source—it blocks COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes that produce prostaglandins (the "fire alarms" of your body). This helps:
- Reduce pain signals to your brain (relief from headaches, muscle aches, joint pain)
- Calm inflammation and swelling (especially helpful for arthritis and injuries)
- Lower fever by acting on the brain's temperature control center
