The number of visits to a doctor is not relevant. If an injury requires treatment beyond that of first aid, it is recordable if the circumstances meet the other criteria for recordability.

no, simply sending an employee do a doctor does not make an incident OSHA recordable. Receiving medical treatment beyond First Aid would make it recordable if other aspects of the incident were consistent with the requirements for recordability.
If you step on a nail at work is that OSHA recordable?
Maybe. An OSHA recordable injury is one that involves death, lost workdays, restricted workdays, and medical care that goes beyond first aid. If stepping on the nail meant you lost days from work, or your foot became infected and required medical care, it may be a recordable. If you went to the doctor, and he gave you a tetanus shot, and you returned to work your next scheduled workday, that may NOT be recordable. (A tetanus shot is a PREVENTION, not a treatment)

How many mg of naproxen is needed to be a OSHA recordable case?
If you need pain relief because of a work-related event, and if your physician gives you a prescription for naproxen, then the event is a recordable event, regardless of the amount prescribed. Some quantities of naproxen are available in the US as non-prescription medicine. If your doctor tells you to take a non-prescription product in non-prescription amounts, then the event causing you to need that medication is not recordable, unless there is some other aspect of the situation that makes it recordable. Never rely on information in a forum like this to determine whether something is recordable. Seek advice and direction from someone who is familiar with the OSHA regulations on recording injuries and illnesses, and with the specifics of the articular workplace.
