Is it just a normal/immediate release naproxen or a delayed release tablet.
It's not recommended to crush the pills but if you can't swallow tablets you can crush them.
If it's delayed release then please don't crush it. If it's a normal release then you can crush it but make sure when you take it drink lots of water so that it all gets washed down.
