    Karl Lourenz Deysolong
    Naproxen sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve symptoms of arthritis, tendinitis, and headaches. It works by blocking the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, decreasing prostaglandin synthesis. Common adverse reactions include headache, gastrointestinal upset, and increased risk of cardiovascular events. Nursing responsibilities include monitoring for side effects, advising the patient to remain upright after dosing and to take it with food, and arranging follow-up care.
