Question:
Can anyone tell me the difference between ibuprofen and naproxen?
was told to go off the ibuprofen for joint problems and was given naproxen.
Answers:
Ibuprofen and naproxen sodium tame the pain caused by inflammation, such as arthritis, sprains, bruises, sunburns, and minor toothaches. There is a key difference between ibuprofen and naproxen: Naproxen sodium provides longer-lasting pain relief per dose than ibuprofen. A standard 220 mg tablet or caplet lasts eight to 12 hours, compared to the four-to-six-hour period for a 200 mg dose of ibuprofen.
