What is naproxeno carisoprodol perscribe for?

Naproxen/carisoprodol is a combination of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and a centrally acting muscle relaxant. It is used to relieve pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms associated with acute musculoskeletal conditions, such as lower back pain, neck pain, and sprains and strains.

Naproxen works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are involved in pain and inflammation. Carisoprodol works by relaxing muscles and reducing spasms.

Naproxen/carisoprodol is typically taken as a tablet or capsule, twice a day. The usual dosage is 500 to 1,000 mg of naproxen and 250 to 500 mg of carisoprodol, twice a day. The maximum daily dose is 2,000 mg of naproxen and 4,000 mg of carisoprodol.

Naproxen/carisoprodol should be taken with food to reduce the risk of stomach upset. It should not be taken with alcohol, as this can increase the risk of liver damage.

Naproxen/carisoprodol is not recommended for long-term use. It should not be taken for more than 10 days without the advice of a doctor.
