NAPROXEN  (NAPROXEN):  See also Warning section. Naproxen is used to relieve pain from various conditions such as headache, muscle aches, tendonitis, dental pain, and menstrual cramps. It also reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis, bursitis, and gout attacks. This medication is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. Check the ingredients on the label even if you have used the product before. The manufacturer may have changed the ingredients. Also, products with similar names may contain different ingredients meant for different purposes. Taking the wrong product could harm you.   FDA Approval Date: 1993-12-21 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  osteoarthritis took naproxen,500mg per day for many years with no side effects at all. I called them my "keep me going" pills.They were very effective... for releiving arthritis pain - although a new hip 8 yrs ago and a replacement knee 3 yrs ago helped somewhat..... Recent stomach pains were diagnosed as mild gastritis due to too much naproxen and cessation of the drug was recommended....now diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and on steroids ie prednisolone which is working well though only taking it for three weeks or so....still playing golf and bowls though - Thank God..... M 72

 5  osteo arthritus I was a bit dizzy when first starting, but, this passed in about a week. Works great -- I take 500mg twice a day. As a generic, it's about $10 per 100 at Costco -- one of the better drug deals in the US. M 49 1.5 years

 4  lower back pain Gas and constipation Pill contains lactose (milk) and I can't digest milk. Will be taking lactase enzyme with the pills from now on. No wonder I had horrible bloating. Also, bruise easily. But, it improves the pain immensely. F 61 5 days

 4  Gout in my foot Its my first day on Naproxen, only taken two x 250mg with food as recomended. The second one I took after a few beers (not recommended)! PS I have duodenal ulcers and been taking lansoprazole for years to reduce stomach acid. The gout pain has almost gone completely even after only two doses. But driving today I was experiencing double vision, and now I'm farting a lot and have loose stools! Just read all the bad comments so not sure if should carry on taking them. Great for the pain though. M 65 1 days
