Naprelan (Naproxen) is a prescription medication used to relieve pain, swelling, and joint stiffness from conditions like arthritis, bursitis, and gout attacks. The drug is also used to treat pain caused by menstrual cramps, tendinitis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Without treatment, pain and swelling may worsen and lead to complications. The active ingredient in Naprelan is Naproxen. Naproxen belongs to a class of medications called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking cyclooxygenase, an enzyme the body uses to produce prostaglandins. By reducing prostaglandin production, the drug relieves pain and reduces inflammation.
