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  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  Osteoarthritis, shoulder pain Blurry Vision Didn't notice any pain relief for first week then noticed I could actually sleep on the same side of my painful shoulder. Last night I thought my TV set was failing but was horrified to realize that everything was as if I were underwater. It's been 24 hrs since last dose and vision seems a little bit less blurry. Going to see eye doctor for evaluation. I will not be taking this drug again. M 56 10 days

 1  Shoulder pain, then back pain Hives I cannot take this medication. The first time I took it, for shoulder pain, it did nothing for the pain and caused me to itch. The second time I took it, for back pain, again it did nothing for the pain and I broke out in hives. From what I've read, inflammation doesn't really happen, it's just something the doctors are blaiming pain on when they don't know what causes it, especially chronic pain. M 26 2 months

 1  Back Pain OMG Husband is so sick. Can't stand up room spinning, Laying down just makes him sick. Sick both ends. Would have thought Doctor could have warned side effects could be bad considering the amount of people on this site alone, yes you read the leaflet but then all tablets carry side effects. Makes it worse that he just finished 2 weeks leave with his new company and now has to go sick. DO-NOT TOUCH THIS TABLET. M 54 2 days

 1  Pain in shoulder I took just one tablet - never again. 24 hours later I am still feeling dizzy. felt disorientated, had to walk round without moving my head as it was so bad. Had to sleep with light on as there were migraine like flashes in my eyes. It did work on the pain, but not worth the horrid feeling. had to sleep during the day too. Slowed my thinking. M 75 1 days

 1  Muscle pain in lower back Extreme anxiety. Tinnitus very bad. It has raised my blood pressure even now 9 days after ceasing the medication I felt all of these while on the medication but only after day 5 made the connection. I have missed 5 days of work because of the light-headedness and horrible Tinnitus. I will never touch this again. I took this some years ago and had the same symptoms but it was only this time round that I made the connection between this med and my symptoms. This med has caused me trips to a and e , two nights in hospital and doctors visits. Still not right 10 days on. Can't believe I was stupid enough to take it without reading about side effects. Hope they go away soon because my life is he'll at the moment.its like a waking nightmare. My symptoms headache,light-headedness,numbness in left hand,high BP, elevated heart rate. Pounding tinnitus. Might work for some people but I would suffer with a leg hanging off than take one more of these. M 54 5 days
