Always take your naproxen tablets with or just after a meal so you do not get an upset stomach. Doses are usually lower for elderly people and people with heart, liver or kidney problems. If you get naproxen on prescription, the dose depends on the reason why you're taking it, your age, how well your liver and kidneys work, and how well it helps your symptoms.

Do not crush or chew them. If you take effervescent tablets, dissolve 1 to 2 tablets in a glass ml of water and drink. Doses of 3 tablets should be dissolved in ml.

Take your forgotten dose as soon as you remember, unless it's nearly time for your next dose.
