Daypro, also known by its generic name oxaprozin, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used to relieve pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as arthritis, menstrual cramps, and other musculoskeletal disorders. It works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation.

Daypro is available in tablet form and is typically taken once or twice a day with food to help reduce the risk of stomach upset. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective use of this medication.

As with any medication, Daypro may cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects may include stomach upset, nausea, dizziness, and headache. More serious side effects such as stomach ulcers, kidney problems, and allergic reactions are rare but can occur. It is important to contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unusual or severe side effects while taking Daypro.

Before starting Daypro, it is important to inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, as well as any medical conditions you may have. Certain medications and medical conditions may interact with Daypro and increase the risk of side effects.

Overall, Daypro can be a helpful medication for managing pain and inflammation associated with various conditions. However, it is important to use this medication as directed and to communicate with your healthcare provider about any concerns or side effects you may experience.
