Anaprox DS Medication Guide

What are the main uses of Anaprox DS, and how does it help in each case?

Anaprox DS (naproxen sodium) is indicated for the relief of mild to moderately severe pain accompanied by inflammation in conditions such as musculoskeletal trauma and post-dental extraction. It is also used for the relief of pain associated with post-partum cramping and dysmenorrhea. As a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), it works by reducing the chemicals in the body that cause pain and swelling, providing temporary relief while the medication is taken.

What are the active and inactive ingredients in Anaprox DS?

The active ingredient in Anaprox DS is naproxen sodium. Inactive ingredients include microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, povidone, titanium dioxide, and polyethylene glycol.

What are the instructions for taking Anaprox DS?

Follow your doctor’s prescription exactly.

Take Anaprox or Anaprox DS only as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer period than recommended. If possible, you should take the lowest dose for the shortest duration. Taking too much of the tablet may increase your chances of unwanted and sometimes dangerous side effects, especially if you are elderly, have other diseases, or take other medications.

If you need to use the tablet for more than 7 days, see your healthcare provider regularly to check if it’s working and if you are experiencing any unwanted effects. This medication is prescribed specifically for you. Do not share it with anyone else, even if their symptoms seem similar to yours, as it may harm them.

The tablet is not recommended for use in patients under 18 years of age, as safety and effectiveness have not been established. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, then continue with your usual schedule. If it’s near the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose.

In case of an overdose, contact a healthcare provider, hospital emergency department, or Poison Control Center immediately, even if there are no symptoms.

When should Anaprox DS not be used?

Do not take the tablet if you have any of the following medical conditions: heart bypass surgery (planning to have or recently had), severe, uncontrolled heart failure, bleeding in the brain or other bleeding disorders, or current pregnancy (after 28 weeks of pregnancy).

Avoid the tablet if you are currently breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed. Do not use it if you are allergic to ASA (Acetylsalicylic Acid) or other NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs).

Do not use Anaprox DS if you have an active ulcer, active bleeding from the stomach or gut, or inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis). Avoid using it if you have active or severe liver disease, severe or worsening kidney disease, or high potassium in the blood. Do not use Anaprox DS if you are already taking another NSAID.
