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  Arthritis VERY SCARY, extremely bad side effects. Blurry vision, dizziness, very high blood pressure. Took a while to realize it was the naproxen. I think this med could have killed me, had I not figured it out. I took 2 tabs every morning for arthritis. Started having blurry vision, dizziness, but did not realize why. After 1 month, severe dizziness, very blurry vision, heart palps, blood pressure 215/112. Never had BP problems before. Ended up in the ER. It occurred to me that it was the naproxen. Stopped it. Got better. THIS MED IS DANGEROUS. AT LEAST WHEN TAKEN LONG TERM. Will cause heart attack or stroke. F 43 1 months
