NAPROSYN  (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: 1982-04-15 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  cramps i had SEVERE cramps secondardy to endometriosis and fibroids. Used just about all holistic remedies. then went to vocodin. by the way HATED the vicodin. Made me feel like SH--. plus did nothing for my pain. The naposyn in conjuction with midol per dr. suggestion has eased the pain by at least 95%. I do get really tired for a day or so though. Don't know if it has to do with the meds. F 40 3 months

 1  Foot pain or neuritis I developed a laundry list of side effects including nightmares, chills, insomnia, and dry mouth. Also I happened to develop a lot of tendinitis in my shoulders, my ankles, in my left knee?! Beware this drug, I took it because of foot pain, and ended up with about 40 percent of my body with tendinitis. Go figure. If you have tendinitis stay away from this drug! Also check out the findings that elderly patients have a 50 percent higher risk of heart attack when using this drug. My goodness this drug should be pulled from the over-the-counter status! Also there is a warning not to take the drug for more than 10 days beware! M 54 120 days

 5  Severe menstrual cramps none I swear it saved my life, well at least the quality of life during the cycle. It literally removed all the effects apart from the flow. I have since entered menopause and no longer need it, but don't know how I would have managed for many years without it. The proof was when I'd run out and do a cycle without it, horrid. 54 10 years

 5  Aching joints (back, neck) None that I noticed It was a wonder drug. I didn't think a medication could help with my lower back pain. Muscle realaxants and pain killers only worked marginally, but I didn't want to take them for prolonged periods. Naprosyn solved my back pain and aching neck and shoulder pain! M 41 5 months

 5  excessive mentrual flow none Significantly decreased menstrual flow, which previously was so bad I could not go out for the first 3 days of my cycle. Also helped with menstrual cramping. I take a very large dose at the onset of menstrual cycle, and then take 300 mg. daily for 4 days after, per my Gyn's prescription. Have taken this monthly for 13 years and have been very pleased. F 27 13 years

 2  Plantar fasciitis I experienced gastrointestinal upset with many foods and GERD at night on lying down to sleep. The worst side effect was the numerous mouth ulcers that occurred continuously while taking Naprosyn. The mouth ulcers finally cleared up on discontinuation. I never really noticed any pain control with this medication. F 50 21 days
