Dosage Recommendations and Administration

Always follow your doctor’s instructions. The typical adult dose for naproxen sodium is 220-440 mg every 8-12 hours, as needed for pain or inflammation. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose of 1100 mg.

For children, dosage depends on age and weight. Consult your pediatrician for appropriate dosage instructions. Never give naproxen to children under 2 years old without explicit medical advice.

Take naproxen with a full glass of water. You can take it with food if stomach upset occurs, but it is generally well tolerated when taken on an empty stomach.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s nearly time for your next dose. Never double up on doses. If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use and contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
