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)

 1  Knee inflammation Flu symptoms.Tight chest.Headache. Sleepy.Loss of appetite. Reflux. Dizzy.Chills.Fever/hot flushes. Emotional. Took one tablet in evening with food. Woke up feeling tight-chested. Took no more doses. Ok for a couple of hours then flu feeling. Lasted 2 days. 3rd night got reflux and still got headache. Killed pain in knee but think I'm seriously allergic so going back to GP for alternative. Be very careful before taking numerous doses, I think if I'd carried on taking this tablet I might have put myself in hospital. F 51 1 times

 1  Lower back pain Heart palpitations, constant ringing in my ears, feeling dizzy. Started with severe back pain that spread to my chest. It felt like i was being crushed, difficulty breathing. The Heart palpitations, constant ringing in my ears, feeling dizzy started about 7 days after stopping the med. After four days on Naproxen I though I was having a Heart attack. Ended up in an Ambulance taken to A&E. Two Months on and I'm still wrecked. This med should be BANNED! M 49 4 days

 1  Was prescribed for muscle pain&stiffness Was prescribed Naproxen 500 4 days ago by my doctor to take twice a day with food for seven days then stop, and notify him of how it had been working or not for my pain and condition. I have been afraid to take it especially after reading the reviews and side effects. I can't be knocked down from this. Went through enough with my body adjusting to Levothyroxine for my hypothyroidism. I don't understand why I can't just take store bought Aleve which works just fine for my pain. Would rather suffer the pain than the debilitating side effects I have read about. Patients should be monitered with their doctor in the room immediately after taking this medication if it causes such horrible side effects. Not taking it now!! NO WAY!!!!! Haven't even started this medication, and will not trust it!! F 48 1 days
500 mg 2x
