Naproxen belongs to a group of medications known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Or, in simpler terms, anti-inflammatory painkillers. It’s often used to treat:
And it comes in various forms, such as a gastro-resistant tablet or an oral solution.
Although Naproxen treats multiple conditions, this page will primarily focus on how it works to relieve symptoms of gout – a condition caused by a build-up of uric acid in your joints. Gout attacks usually come on suddenly, causing severe joint pain and inflammation. Gout usually occurs in the joints of the big toe, but it can also affect your hands, wrists, elbows or knees.
Naproxen works by stopping your body making chemicals called prostaglandins, which are involved in pain and inflammation. By doing this, it’s able to reduce both: pain, and your sensitivity to pain.
Put simply, NSAIDs like Naproxen work by calming down the inflammatory response that causes swelling and pain.
Naproxen tablets come in two different doses: 250mg and 500mg. Whereas Naproxen oral suspension comes as either a 25mg/ml or 50mg/ml dose.
Your Naproxen dosage will typically depend on your condition and symptoms. Treatment for gout attacks usually begins with a 750mg dose (so one 500mg tablet and one 250mg one, or three 250mg tablets). Your dose will probably then be reduced to 250mg every eight hours, to provide steady pain relief until the attack finishes. If you’re taking the oral solution of Naproxen, you’ll usually be prescribed 30ml as a first dose and then a 10ml dose every eight hours until you feel better.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body.

Always take Naproxen as advised by your clinician.
To take Naproxen tablets:
Naproxen tends to work pretty quickly; you should start feeling better within an hour, and it reaches peak levels in your bloodstream two-to-four hours after taking it – this is probably the period where you’ll notice the most benefit from it. If you feel like Naproxen isn’t working for you, go back to your clinician. They’ll look into options that might suit you better.
Typically, though, Naproxen should only be taken for a short period of time. This is because it can cause stomach issues if taken for too long. If you are prescribed Naproxen long-term, you’ll likely be prescribed an additional medicine to take alongside it, called a proton pump inhibitor. These medicines work to stop your stomach producing too much acid, which helps protect it from problems like ulcers. Making sure you take Naproxen with food can also help.
If you forget or miss a dose of Naproxen, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to the time you’re due to take your next dose then skip the missed one and carry on as normal.
Don’t take a double dose to make up for the missed one. Taking too much Naproxen can greatly increase the risk of side effects. If you’ve taken too much Naproxen, seek medical advice from your doctor immediately.
