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  Fractured foot Heartburn, bruising, severe nausea, stomach cramps, limb tingling The heartburn started not long after the first tablet and lasted about an hour. From then on I had severe nausea and cramps which lasted for about 8 hours, or more specifically, until I cried myself to sleep. My left eyelid turned purple and my limbs became tingly. The effects of that first pill have freaked me out so much that I haven't taken another (I'm supposed to take 3 a day). The side effects did distract me from the pain but in a sick joke kind of way! I'd rather have the pain of my injury than to take that evil drug ever again. F 32 1 days

 2  Low back/leg pain No side effects until after the third dose. Started with waking during the night with indigestion. Followed the next morning with bloating, extreme belching, and occasional stomach pains. Felt like a tight band stretched across the upper back. I did note decreased pain levels. The side effects severe enough to discontinue medication. Slight anxiety noted.. Possibly because of the side effects, or was it the medication. F 45 3 days

 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  Separated shoulder Terrible stomach ace, dry mouth, chills. Instructed to take 2x day. After the first day, I woke up in the middle of the night to stomach pains so bad I can't sleep: I haven't taken any more, and here I am on night 3 and it's just as bad. Makes me feel hungry in the middle of the night, but food makes it worse. Milk helps. Another in my house has similar effects. This stuff is awful, don't take it. Side effects worse than shoulder pain. M 27 1 days

 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
