Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. In contrast, antihistamines are medications designed to block the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose. While naproxen targets pain and inflammation, antihistamines are primarily used to manage allergy symptoms and are not effective for pain relief. Thus, their uses, mechanisms, and indications differ significantly.
