Back pain is one of the most common physical complaints in the UK and can affect people of all ages. It may be caused by poor posture, muscle or ligament strain, a slipped disc, or long periods of sitting or lifting incorrectly.
The pain can range from a mild ache to sharp, intense discomfort that limits movement and affects sleep, work, and daily life. In many cases, back pain improves within a few weeks, but some people require medication to help manage symptoms in the short term.
At Slinic, we offer Naproxen 250mg tablets, a prescription-only anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID) used to treat moderate back pain. It helps reduce inflammation around joints and muscles, easing stiffness and discomfort.
Naproxen works by blocking the production of prostaglandins—substances in the body that cause pain and swelling. It’s often more effective than standard over-the-counter painkillers for musculoskeletal issues like back pain.
This treatment is usually taken twice a day with food to reduce the risk of stomach irritation. A prescriber will check your medical history to ensure Naproxen is suitable, especially if you have any stomach, kidney, or heart concerns.
Ordering Naproxen from Slinic is quick and confidential. Simply complete an online consultation, and a UK-licensed prescriber will review your details. If approved, your medication will be delivered discreetly and promptly to your home.
