The prescription is supposed to be for naproxen, 500mg ## its an ic napoxen 500mg - u have the right pills ## My grandmother passed a week ago and she was on alot of prescriptions and I found a pill that my little brother must have taken from her to get a buzz, it is oval and orange and has a 93 on the one side and a 149 on the other. I am hoping it wont hurt him if he has taken some before, can you help me? ## Hi Chris, welcome to our site. Your little brother made a bad grab for wanting to get high. This is indeed just Naproxen 500mgs, it is prescription strength though, so it is still illegal to have and use them without a prescription, ...

I found these pills in my boyfriends Truck? What are they for? He orders medication from Mexico and I don't trust Mexican pharmacists sometimes. Not the products but the people that sell the items because they did not go to school as long as our pharmasists do here in the US (6yrs.) ## Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to relieve pain, fever and swelling. It's the same active ingredient that is used in Aleve, but higher dosages require a prescription. Side effects may include: nausea, headache, stomach irritation and risk of bleeding.

off white, oblong, G 32 on one side, 500 on the other ## what is a pale peach oblong tablet with 500 on one side and G 32 with an indentation between the G and the 32 on the other? Is it Naproxen? ## Yes, it is 500mgs of Naproxen, a generic for Naprosyn. ## I want to know if the naproxen pill marked G 32 500 contains penicillin? I'm highly allergic to penicillin and don't want to take it for my fibromyalgia if it has penicillin in it.

Taking mylan nifedipine er and teva naproxen 250 mg together alright? ## Hello, Doreen! How are you? No, it might not be safe for you to take any NSAID, if you have high blood pressure. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications can sometimes cause elevated blood pressure as side effects, along with fluid retention, which can further contribute to the problem, so you shouldn't take them, without your doctor's approval. Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker that's most commonly used to teat hypertension and certain cardiac conditions, its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

I found this pill in my kids room...just wondering do people abuse this drug? Please let me know ## I heard that some people have used it recreationally ... just wondering..I'm worried and am hoping my kid is not hooked on them.. ## Naproxen will not get someone high, it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. It is commonly sold over the counter in a lower dosage as Aleve or generic or store brands. This is, however, a prescription strength tablet, so your child should not have it. It is illegal to have this without a valid prescription. The other operative question you may want to look into is what your child thinks it is, do they think it is something they can get high off of, like a narcotic? Have they been taking other medications that they shouldn't be?

I was on 35mc/hrt Transdermal patches. My gp has told me I'm to be taken off the patches and use co codamol at highest dose he can give as well as diclofenac at the highest daily dose. I have osteoarthritis in my top part of my neck and my last 5 discs are slowly coming together. I also take 1000mg of naproxin daily as well as 30mg Amitriptyline per day. And I'm still experienceing chronic pain.

I've been taking naproxen and lyrica for shingles pain, but my blood pressure is up and I have swelling on my left side. Do these meds interact? ## No, I didn't find any interactions listed between them, but it is always best to double check. Both pain, and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory can cause you to have elevated blood pressure, according to FDA and AMA reports. How high is your blood pressure and how much Naproxen are you taking? The FDA also warns that Lyrica can cause hypertension, though it is a very rare side effect. It could be that this just isn't the right medication combination for you. Have you tried an antiviral for the Shingles? It can often help shorten the duration of them, and lessen the symptoms.

Help! I've been taking Naproxen off & on for a complaint in my hands & they give me such awful stomach cramps & seen to cause me to be more tired & lose concentration etc that I stop taking them & just suffer the pain in my hands as its less bother than the aparant side effects from the Naproxen. Am I alone with this or does anyone else suffer? ## Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so the tiredness and etc. can be normal side effects, they are also well-known to cause stomach irritation, because they can cause the stomach to produce more acid. Have you discussed these problems with your doctor? How high of a dosage have you been taking? There are various solutions that your doctor may be able to help you with, such as lowering the dosage, using a diffe...

I've been diagnosed with Intracranial Hypertension age 21 an have been prescribed both naproxen and tramacet!! Does any one know if I can take the two together????? ## Hi little one, Based on my research there are no drug interactions found between the active ingredients in Tramacet and Naproxen. This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist, but my sources state that every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is accurate. That said, I would personally feel safe taking the two together. You may also want to consider adding some natural alternatives to the mix (such as essential oils), in conjunction with a diet high in potassium and magnesium (more fruits and veggies). I hope this helps!

I have been taking naproxen for heel pain but whilst on it i got a really bad dose of head cold and also took a cold and flue capsule. I experienced a tight chest( probably the cold ) and became a little breathless with exertion, so I stopped taking both. Doctor said I had a chest infection and gave me antibiotics. After my cold cleared up and i finished the course of anti biotics i started to use the naproxen again and once again noticed breathlessness. I have now stopped taking them as it is mentioned to be one of the side effects, I wonder how long does this drug remain in your system, as after 30hrs without them i still feel a little breathless. ## Hello, Jackie! How are you doing? No, it shouldn't still be causing it that long after taking it. Have you ever had high blood press...

Next month, after 3 yrs of unbearable pain, Im finally getting back surgery! (new disc, screws, plates, & rod ) My question is, Ive been on 500 mg of naproxen twice a day for over a yr. How long would it take to clear the nap. out of my system to safely take voltaren 75mg. Norcos are causing such painful constipation that it isnt worth it. Steroids were the best thing ever for reducing the inflammation & thus the pain but I cant take them anymore as they drove my blood sugar so high that i am, for now anyway, a diabetic. Hope someone can help me. Thank you! ## I'm very sorry that you're in so much pain! That's horrible! Both Naproxen and Voltaren are classified by the FDA as being nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, so unless your doctor specifies otherwise, you should...

Am I going to feel anything from this? Can I drive.? Any side effects I should be concerned with? ## Based on the description provided, I found your pill to be Naproxen sodium (550 mg). Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug commonly used for the reduction of moderate to severe pain, fever, inflammation and stiffness. I personally don't think it is so intense that you would be unable to function or operate machinery, but I would honestly recommend asking a physician or the doctor who prescribed it to you for clarification on that, as 550 mg is one of the higher doses of Naproxen that I've seen. For more information about this drug, please refer to the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you.

I have taken 220mg naproxen sodium and 1000mg acetaminophen. Can this hurt me? I woke with fever and pain in head and shoulders and had those available so I took them. Now I am worried as I am feeling dizzy and have a stomach-ache. ## Hello, Jim! How are you? Did you experience any other adverse issues? Those aren't dangerously high doses of either, but mixing them could cause you to experience more severe side effects than usual, you may also experience headache, increased risk of bleeding, and easy bruising, according to the FDA. Thus, it is usually best to stick with just one, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. ## Yes or No please: Does Naproxen contain acetaminophen?

Can I take naproxen 440 mg & hydrocodone/acetaminophen 5-325 tb & 10 mg of cyclobenzaprine together? I fell down the stairs and have tremendous back spasms when I move at all. Thanks. ## According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), there is a high interaction potential between Cyclobenzaprine and Hydrocodone, which states that taking the two together may increase your risk of certain side effects (such as: loss of balance, dizziness, slurred speech, confusion, changes in mental awareness & slow or shallow breathing). They go on to note that if the two medications are deemed to be required, your doctor may adjust the dosage and/or frequency of dosing in order to lessen these risk factors.

can 40 of 500 mgs of naproxen and 20 of 15 mgs meloxican cause death? ## Both are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, which are known to be toxic at very high dosages, so yes, it is possible. Those amounts would exceed the known daily tosic levels of these medications and can be very dangerous. If someone takes more than the recommended dosage, your should contact your nearest emergency services and watch for danger signs, such as: extreme nausea and vomiting, trouble breathing and lowered heart rate and blood pressure.

I found a pill in my sisters room and confronted her she said it was for nausi . It is a small round white pill with zc and 15 on it. What kind of feeling does it give you?? And also found an oval shaped white pill with IP 190 on one side and 500 on the other. ... ## The tablet with the ZC 15 on it is manufactured by Zydus Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 10mgs of Paroxetine. The FDA classifies this medication as an SSRI antidepressant. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes. It will not cause a high and isn't something that is commonly abused. The tablet with the IP 190 500 is manufactured by Akyma Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 500mgs of Naproxen.

I am suffering inflammation in rectum and possible colon my dr prescribed me tramadol ketorolaco to treat the inflammation 8 days ago and I don't feel any better I haven't had a bowl movement since 6 days ago I can't even pass gas every time i eat or drink anything I get lots of gas and high pain advise ## Hello, David! How are you? No, you cannot combine these medications. Both the Ketorolac and the Naproxen in the Flanax are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories and taking too much of them in a day can lead to overdose toxicity, liver damage or liver failure. It also creates the risk of stomach ulceration and bleeding. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and drowsiness. Have you tried anything to alleviate the constipation? Did your doctor suggest anything?

off white pill oval i found theses pills in my childs room and i need to knoe what they are thank you ## its naproxen...just a painkiller...it can be abused like any other medicine but as far as getting high or drowsy it doesnt affect the brain at all...i got some for my back aches and a female friend of mines had it prescribed for her menstrual cramps i believe ## This is a prescription strength of Naproxen though, 500mgs. So if they do not have a valid prescription for it, then having it is illegal.

Is this similar to Vicodin or norcos? Does it give you the same feeling/affect? Does it have narcotics in it? Is it considerate a opiate? ## Does it have ip 190 on one side and 500 on the other, white oblong ? If it does it is 500 mg Naproxen. Naproxen is a nonsterodial anti-inflammatory. It is the same medication that is in Aleve over the counter, except the mg is higher in prescription Naproxen. It is not a narcotic or opiate. It does not contain the same medication as Vicodin or Norco.
