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)

 2  back pain Ringing in ears, swelling, dry mouth, dizziness. I was taking 500mg twice a day, it helped a little but not enough for putting up with the side effects. I started to gain weight, get headaches, etc, and finally re-read the side effects on this and put it together. So I stopped taking it. M 42 12 days

 2  chondromalacia patellae Light headedness, dizziness, and drowsiness I was prescribed this medication because the doctor misdiagnosed my condition by saying I had a dislocated kneecap. This medication is good for arthritic pain but not for a condition like mine. I would take two 500 mg tablets a day and still be in pain. It would provide some relief but not enough to create comfort. I finally got relief when I was diagnosed by a good doctor and put on Vicodin. Not very good in my opinion. If you are suffering from arthritis or mild pain this medication is good, however for chronic pain I would not recommend it. M 23 2 months

 5  Menstrual symptoms none I take one tablet (OTC) a day for one week before my period begins. My period has shortened to only three days with a significant decrease in blood flow. I started this regimen on the advice of my OB GYN who cited studies showing 60 percent of women benefited from this regimen. F 38
