Research Notes on Naproxen Dosage
There is no standard dosing regimen for prescription naproxen, as the dosage will be calculated depending on several factors such as the condition for which you are being treated, other medications you are taking, and any other medical conditions you may have. A recommended starting dosage for prescription naproxen may be 500 mg, and then 250 mg taken every six to eight hours as needed. Consult with your physician before increasing your dosage of naproxen.1 Fast Facts:
