Indications
Daypro is a brand name for the medication oxaprozin, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), used to relieve the inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Daypro was patented in 1967 and approved for medical use in 1983.
Use and Dosage
Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking oxaprozin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. Drink a full glass of water (8 ounces/240 millilitres) with it unless your doctor directs you otherwise. Do not lie down for at least 10 minutes after taking this drug. If stomach upset occurs while taking this medication, take it with food, milk, or an antacid.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, body weight, and response to treatment. The manufacturer recommends that adults should not take more than 1,800 milligrams per day or 26 milligrams per kilogram per day, whichever is lower. To minimize side effect risks (such as stomach bleeding), use this medication at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible length of time. Do not increase your dose or take this drug more often than directed. For chronic conditions such as arthritis, continue taking it as directed by your doctor. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor or pharmacist.
In certain conditions (such as arthritis), it may take up to 2 weeks when this drug is taken regularly before you notice the full benefits.
Tell your doctor if your condition worsens.
