What dosage of naproxen for sprained knee?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on your heal: All medicines need to be monitored. In general the dose is 500mg twice a day. The safety depends on your health, kidney function, blood pressure, age and if you have had previous ulcers. This will increase your risks. You can discuss this with your doctor.
