Effectiveness
How Naprosyn Affects PatientsNaproxen is a non-selective NSAID used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and lower fever. It works by blocking a certain enzyme, which reduces the amount of prostaglandins in the body. However, naproxen can have negative effects, such as raising blood pressure and increasing the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. People taking corticosteroids or anticoagulants, or who have a history of stomach ulcers, are more likely to experience these side effects.
How Naprosyn works in the bodyNaproxen works to reduce pain, fever and inflammation by blocking two enzymes in the body: COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 is usually found in normal tissues like the stomach lining and is always active, while COX-2 produces prostaglandins that are responsible for pain, fever, and inflammation. By blocking these two enzymes, naproxen can provide relief from pain, fever, and inflammation without causing many of the unwanted side effects like gastrointestinal upset and renal toxicities.
When to interrupt dosage

Naprosyn Toxicity & Overdose RiskNaproxen is available without a prescription, but this raises the risk of an overdose. Mild symptoms of an overdose include drowsiness, fatigue, stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting. There is no cure for an overdose but symptoms usually go away with supportive care. Naproxen is not recommended for pregnant women in the third trimester because it can cause a premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus.

Naprosyn Reviews: What are patients saying about Naprosyn?
5Patient Review
2/21/2012 I'm a bit worried about taking this drug because I'm only 13. The pain is really unbearable, though. Is it addictive? Can someone let me know if it's worth trying?

1/25/2018 I was given this medication for the chronic pain that comes with fatigue syndrome. Within hours of taking the first pill, I went numb on one side of my body and felt very weak and dizzy. I stopped taking them after that because the headaches were awful and lasted for months. Even now, years later, I still get strange stars in front of my eyes sometimes.

1/20/2022 These meds are great for heel spurs. I’m on my feet 12 hours a day for 4 days, and I was able to make it all four days without pain. Very happy.

11/26/2013 After taking this medication for a couple of months, I developed an "itchy" throat with a very dry cough. After stopping it for 2 days the itchiness has gone away and so has the cough.

3/29/2012 This medication did not relieve any of my finger joint pain. In fact, after using it for two months daily, I developed a severe rash that itched incessantly.

4/19/2012 I was prescribed this medication by my doctor to treat neck pain. I took the 500 mg dosage twice a day, as directed. However, after only two weeks on the medication, I began having black stool—a sign of bleeding in the stomach. Immediately upon discovering this side effect, I ceased taking all medications and wonder if I need to tell my doctor right away.

11/5/2012 I was in a lot of pain before taking this medication, to the point where I needed a cane. But after just two days, I'm feeling great!

7/31/2013 my boyfriend has had some serious side effects from this medication. He's been fainting, nauseous, and experiencing more chest pain, excessive sweating, and other issues. This just isn't a good drug. How long does it take for the medicine to leave his system?

Is Naprosyn and ibuprofen the same?
"There are some key differences between ibuprofen and naproxen even though they are very similar. For example, ibuprofen does not provide pain relief for as long as naproxen. This means that you would not have to take naproxen as often."
