Brief Answer:
Naproxen sodium

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are wondering what the maximum dose of Naproxen is? The maximum is 1500mg per day and you should not take that regularly for more than 2 -4 weeks. Continue use of naproxen can cause kidney damage and peptic ulcer disease though since you are taking protonix in addition to naproxen your risk is lower.

I hope this answers your question. If you have any further question please contact us again
