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  Chronic sciatica Started with bad diarrhoea which continued despite medication. Stopped taking Naproxen thinking it would clear up after a few days. 3months later and I still have it and have lost over a stone in weight I blame the Naproxen, my GP is thinking the same as me. He's now trying to find out how much damage has been done and how to stop the side effects. F 63 1 months

 1  Shoulder pain Horrendous Stomach Pain which radiated to my back. Vomiting. Diarrhoea I took this drug to help with pain in my shoulder. About two hours later whilst trying to sleep I suddenly suffered severe stomach pain which radiated through to my back. This carried on all night and I did not/could not sleep. I'm not kidding you, I honestly thought I was going to die! At first I thought I had food poisoning but I am two weeks on from taking just two tablets and I am still suffering from stomach pain and vomiting!! If you do take these, milk does help to relieve a bit of the pain. Also had horrible diarrhoea. You also get hunger pangs when you're not even hungry. I do believe it has caused some sort of ulceration in my stomach and will be visiting my doctor this week to get some sort of medication to heal it. DONT take this drug!!! I cannot believe it has been allowed onto the medical market!!! F 43 1 times

 1  Shoulder pain following car crash Extreme heartburn, stomach cramps Ongoing (every 5 minutes, even after stopping medication after only taking it twice)! Nausea. Light headed. Side effects after first dose, heartburn all night. Couldn't sleep. Nauseous. Side effects after second dose next morning (with breakfast), had to go to work, stomach cramps, chest pain, nauseous. That was the last dosage I had. That early evening my continuous stomach cramps and chest pain were so bad that I went for emergency appointment at GP, they immediately took ECG, but found it was side effects of taking Naproxen, even after only taking 2 doses. Put me on 20mg Omeprazole, twice daily, still have stomach cramps extremely bad every 5 minutes, 2 days later after stopping doses. Nausea has lessened. Heartburn still constant. Would never take this again. EVER! F 27 2 times
250mg 2X day
