Does anaprox (naproxen) work as a pain killer?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Absolutely. Best for mild to moderate pain which is caused by inflammation. It also works well for many bone, joint, musculoskeletal, and gynecological sources of pain by blocking production of certain types of chemicals involved in the inflammatory response known as prostoglandins.
