Hello, was this dosage recommended by a doctor? Although it is not usual, it may be indicated, in certain circumstances, to take Naproxen 250mg 4 times a day or every 4 to 6 hours. However, it is important not to exceed the maximum recommended dose of 1000mg per day (or 4 x 250mg tablets). I recommend that you follow the dosage indicated by your doctor and/or pharmacist, if applicable. Is there anything else I can do to help you today? I look forward to hearing from you!

Yes, my dentist prescribed this medication, but a nurse friend told me it was super strong! I had a concern

I understand that Naproxen is most commonly prescribed at 500mg twice a day, which may be why your friend felt it was stronger than what she usually sees. However, as explained above, there are situations that warrant its use in other ways, so don't worry! So don't worry, Laurie Hudon-Germain, pharmacist
