Noflam (Naproxen) is an oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat patients who are suffering from inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis, or acute gout. The medication prevents the actions of chemicals in the body that cause the pain, swelling, and irritation associated with these conditions to increase comfort and flexibility. Your doctor may also prescribe it for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Noflam (Naproxen)?

These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a snack or meal is suggested prior to use if you experience nausea. Never split or crush the tablets prior to use as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents.
