Medication information
Prescription
Naproxen
Long-acting NSAID for pain and inflammation
Naproxen lasts longer per dose than ibuprofen, so it is often taken twice a day. Common Rx strengths are 250 mg, 375 mg, and 500 mg. Lower-dose Aleve is available without a prescription.
How the pharmacy helps
We dispense Rx-strength tablets and the combination Naproxen/Esomeprazole product (Vimovo), which adds stomach protection.
