Want to know what it is for and the side effects ? ## Hello, Emerson! How are you? Naproxen is classified by the FDA as being a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. It's typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. It may be contradicted with some medications or medical conditions, so it should only be taken, if your doctor has said that it is safe for you. Is there anything else I can help with?

I m male age 60. Suffered right lower abdomen pain at very close to lowest rib tip. But sometime OK and sometime the pain move from right to left. Some time I feel lower back mussel getting pain. Dr. gave me this Apo- 500. During treatment it is OK but no more medicine. I m sailing and far away from doctor. What is this disease. Is it due to wind or gastric. Is there any side effect if use long term on Apo-500. ## I'm sorry, but from just the basic information in a post on the internet, no one is going to be able to give you a definitive diagnosis on what is causing your problem. There are many possibilities and they require medical tests to confirm which one it is. And yes, there can be problems if you use the Naproxen for a long period of time. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammato...

I got the prescription in Jul 2009. There is no expiry date on the bottle. Is it still safe to take it after 4 years? ## Hi, Milica! Once the factory seal on a bottle of tablets has been broken, the expiration date is one year from the date you received it from your pharmacy. Naproxen doesn't get dangerous after it has expired, but it will start to lose potency, which means that after 4 years, they are virtually worthless and should just be disposed of properly. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My name nargis my naproxen tablets 9Aug 2015 its safe

Typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. The symptoms you've described sound like nerve damage. Are you diabetic or on any other medications?

information ## Is Anaproxen and Naproxen cousins? Are they the same?? ## The active ingredient in Anaprox is Naproxen, so they are the same. Was this prescribed for you? ## Can the Anaproxen capsule be addictive? is it possible that it becomes an addiction? ## It is not as addicting as something such as a narcotic, but our bodies can become dependent on anything that we use regularly for a long period of time and if we stop taking it abruptly, we will experience withdrawal symptoms. ## withdrawal symptons? i'm 17 years old. i think i've become dependant on it. with every little pain, i need to take one, but it's a need even if the pain is little, and when i say little, i mean tiny.

I am allergic to many drugs and need to know since I am on blood pressure meds and epileptic meds also. please let me know as soon as possible as i need to get something for this pain and inflamation. Thank You. ## Anaprox contains the active ingredient Naproxen Sodium, a prescription strength of the same stuff that's in Aleve. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. I cannot give you any information on possible interactions since you didn't say what your medications were, but the allergy and interactions info is something your pharmacy should check when filling your prescripton. Have you talked to the pharmacist, yet?

Filled at pharmacy on May 27, 2011. Are these still good to use for bursitis? ## Hi Maggie, Based on my research, you shouldn't take expired prescriptions. There is a reason that there is an expiration date on them. Not only do they LOSE most, if not all potency, the expired pills could surely affect your liver in a toxic way. Please post back if you have any more questions so I can further assist you!

My prescription is dated january 2016 is it still good? ## Can i take naproxen dated 2016 is it still good to use for pain ## Hello Gigi, The short answer is no. The long answer is that the expiration date could mean multiple things ranging from the expectancy of the medication to maintain it's maximum level of potency. In some cases the medication would still be good but just not as effective as it was prior to the expiration date. On the other hand, some medication contains active ingredients and inactive ingredients that may deteriorate and make the medication react differently with you. Regardless of the safety of the medication, it will not be able to perform it's intended function at a desirable level and should be disposed of at your local drug drop off. If you feel like ...

Can naproxen sodium 550mg help with uti infection pain while peeing? I was trying to see if it lessens the pain. ## It might help a little, but you would likely get more relief from Phenazopyridine, it is available over the counter in most drug stores. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, discolored urine, and stomach pain. However, it is specifically used to alleviate the burning and pain that occurs with a UTI. You may want to look for it, if your doctor approves of you trying it. Are you also on an antibiotic?

I have a bad pain in my hips and wanted to know if 2 Naproxen 500 MG would be too much to take...I'm hurting pretty badly. ## Hello, Terri! How are you? It would be best not to double up, unless your doctor approaches. Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and taking too much of it, as listed in the FDA warnings, risks severe stomach and/or liver damage. Especially if taken for long periods of time. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?
