FAQ: How is Naprogesic different from ibuprofen for period pain?

Both are NSAIDs that reduce prostaglandins causing period cramps. Naproxen sodium has a longer duration of action (up to 8 hours) compared to ibuprofen (4-6 hours), meaning fewer doses per day. Some women find naproxen provides more sustained relief for period pain. Both are effective - individual response varies.

FAQ: When should I start taking Naprogesic?

For best results, start taking Naprogesic at the very first sign of period pain or cramping rather than waiting until pain is severe. Taking at the onset - or even a day before your period if you have a predictable cycle - provides better prostaglandin inhibition and more effective pain prevention than starting after pain is established.

FAQ: Can I take Naprogesic with paracetamol?

Yes - naproxen and paracetamol can be combined as they work through different mechanisms. This combination provides better overall pain relief than either alone for period pain. Do not combine Naprogesic with other NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin) as this increases the risk of side effects without improving pain relief. Ask our pharmacist for advice on combining pain relievers.
