What back pain treatment does Birdsfoot Lane Pharmacy offer?
We offer Naproxen (any generic) 250mg tablets as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for managing back pain.
How does Naproxen work to relieve back pain?
Naproxen is an NSAID that works by reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and lowering fever. It inhibits the production of substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation.
When should I take Naproxen for back pain, and what is the recommended dosage?
Naproxen is typically taken with food to minimize stomach upset. The dosage and frequency will depend on the severity of your back pain and your healthcare provider’s recommendation. Follow the prescribed guidelines for the most effective relief.
Are there any potential side effects associated with Naproxen?
Common side effects may include stomach upset, heartburn, and dizziness. Serious side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding or allergic reactions are rare but possible. It’s crucial to inform your healthcare provider of any existing medical conditions or medications you are taking.
Can Naproxen be used for chronic back pain or only for acute episodes?
Naproxen can be used for both acute and chronic back pain, but the duration and frequency of use should be determined by your healthcare provider. It’s important to address the underlying causes of chronic back pain and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
Are there any interactions with other medications I might be taking for back pain?
Inform your healthcare provider and pharmacist about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions. They can adjust the treatment plan accordingly to ensure safe and effective pain management.
