A member asked:
What is the maximum dosage a person should take of naproxen in a 24 hour period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little as possible: The gastrointestinal effects of naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-infammatory (NSAID) are devastating and cause tremendous morbidity and mortality. Look it up. The figures of death and hospitalization are striking. The effects on the gut are dose related, so the less you have to take the better, and take it with a full stomach. If you develop abdominal pain, stop the medication.
