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)

Killed pain in knee but think I'm seriously allergic so going back to GP for alternative.

 1  Tendonitis/inflammation After my first dose I woke up in the night with severe cramps, the pain was unbearable I was nautious as well, I wanted to be sure it was because of the pill, do I took it again with food, as I was supposed to take it twice a day, and a half hour later, intense abdominal pain, i phoned my physicians office , and I am no longer taking it. It has been over 12 hours later and I am still experiencing abdominal pain.
