Naproksen HF 375 mg is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug – NSAID – containing naproxen. It reduces pain and inflammation and is prescribed for selected joint disorders, acute gout, acute musculoskeletal conditions and menstrual pain.
The pack contains 20 film-coated tablets with 375 mg of naproxen each. It is intended for adults and is available only on prescription in Serbia.
Naproxen may cause gastrointestinal ulceration, bleeding or perforation and may impair kidney, heart or liver function. The risk is greater in older patients, with higher doses, prolonged treatment and concurrent medicines that increase bleeding risk.
Do not combine Naproksen HF with ibuprofen, diclofenac, ketoprofen, another naproxen product, high-dose acetylsalicylic acid or another NSAID unless specifically instructed by a doctor.
Naproksen HF 375 mg – indications, dosage and precautions
Approved indications
- rheumatoid arthritis;
- osteoarthritis;
- ankylosing spondylitis;
- acute gout;
- acute musculoskeletal disorders, including strains, sprains and back pain;
- dysmenorrhoea – menstrual pain.
Naproxen reduces pain, swelling, stiffness and inflammation but does not cure the underlying rheumatic disease.
Administration and dosage
Take the medicine exactly according to the prescription. Swallow the tablet with water, with or immediately after food.
The score line allows the tablet to be divided into two equal doses.
| Indication | Dose range stated in the official leaflet | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis | A total of 500–1000 mg of naproxen daily, usually divided into two doses | The prescriber must specify the exact number of tablets |
| Acute gout | Initially 750 mg, followed by 250 mg every eight hours until the attack resolves | Do not calculate tablet quantities independently |
| Acute musculoskeletal disorders and dysmenorrhoea | Initially 500 mg, followed by 250 mg every 6–8 hours when required | Maximum after the first day: 1250 mg daily |
The official leaflet states total therapeutic naproxen doses, while each Naproksen HF tablet contains 375 mg. The prescriber must therefore specify the exact number of whole or divided tablets and the dosing schedule.
Older patients and people with reduced kidney function usually require a lower dose and shorter treatment.
Contraindications

- previous asthma, rhinitis, hives or angioedema caused by aspirin or another NSAID;
- active gastrointestinal ulcer or bleeding;
- recurrent ulceration or gastrointestinal bleeding;

Special precautions
Inform the doctor about hypertension, heart failure, heart attack, stroke, kidney or liver disease, previous ulceration, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, bleeding disorders, lupus, severe skin reactions or planned surgery.
Gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration and perforation may occur at any point during treatment, sometimes without warning symptoms.
NSAIDs may cause fluid retention, swelling, increased blood pressure and worsening heart or kidney function. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest period required.
