What is Naproxen

NaproxenThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryNaproxen is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory dug (NSAID) and was initially approved for prescription use in 1976 and then for over-the-counter (OTC) use in 1994.[A178975] It can effectively manage acute pain as well as pain related to rheumatic diseases, and has a well studied adverse effect profile.[A179098] Given its overall tolerability and effectiveness, naproxen can be considered a first line treatment for a variety of clinical situations requiring analgesia.[A179098] Naproxen is available in both immediate and delayed release formulations, in combination with sumatriptan to treat migraines, and in combination with esomeprazole to lower the risk of developing gastric ulcers.[L6582][L6583][L7309][L7312]

Naproxen is my go-to for toothaches because it provides such quick relief. I also recently used it for a spider bite and, again, it did wonders!

Naproxen for Mild Pain associated with Arthritis
I can take this pill when my body hurts and get as bad when I can't stand the pain no more. It is amazing I feel like am in my 20's again. I do not take it everyday bc this medicine lasts for weeks. Then the pain comes back. I know it's not good for your kidneys, ect. That is why I don't over take this medication. I stand by this Naproxe. It works for me!!!

Naproxen for Inflammation of the Tendon
I had been dealing with neck pain for eight months straight before trying this medication. I'm so glad I did, because the tendonitis was completely gone after taking Naproxen 220mg twice a day!

Naproxen for Pain
Naproxen provides decent pain relief for my fibromyalgia, though it doesn't completely remove the discomfort. It's also non-sedating, which is great. However, I have experienced intestinal bleeding as a result of taking this medication; because of this, I've had to take breaks from using it periodically.

Naproxen for Rheumatic Disease causing Pain & Stiffness in Backbone
I'm 40 years old with three worn discs and one bulging disc, so I am in constant pain. This treatment has helped me a lot, but I've also found that I'm gaining weight very quickly. Has anyone else experienced this side effect?
