Naproxen Tablets are a prescription anti-inflammatory medicine used to relieve period pain, also known as dysmenorrhoea.

Naproxen belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, natural substances involved in pain, inflammation and uterine contractions during menstruation.

During a period, increased prostaglandin activity can cause the muscles of the uterus to contract more strongly. These contractions may lead to lower abdominal cramps, lower back pain and discomfort that affects everyday activities.

Naproxen helps relieve these symptoms by reducing prostaglandin production.

At Pharmulous, naproxen is offered through an online prescription consultation. An authorised UK prescriber will assess your symptoms, medical history and current medication before deciding whether treatment is suitable.

Benefits of Naproxen Tablets

  • Helps relieve menstrual cramps and period pain.

  • May ease lower abdominal and lower back discomfort associated with periods.
  • Provides an alternative when simpler pain relief has not been sufficient.

Naproxen helps manage pain but does not treat the underlying cause of conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis or uterine fibroids.
