Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms. Patients treated with NSAIDs long-term should undergo regular medical supervision to monitor for adverse events.
The antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities of Naproxen may reduce fever and inflammation, thereby diminishing their utility as diagnostic signs.
Naproxen decreases platelet aggregation and prolongs bleeding time. This effect should be kept in mind when bleeding times are determined.
Caution is required if administered to patients suffering from, or with a previous history of, bronchial asthma since NSAIDs have been reported to precipitate bronchospasm in such patients.
