What are naproxen pills made with? ## Hello, Reba! How are you? Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. If you wish to know the inactive ingredients, I need more details, such as who the manufacturer is, or what the markings are on the tablets. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! ## I think she means what is it made of, in the way that we know aspirin comes from willow tree bark. Where does naproxen come from, how or where did we find it. Ibuprofen has cellulose and corn starch as its parents, what is naproxen's lineage?

my doctor prescribed me this medication for menstrual cramps & he recommended to take it daily for 2 weeks, why should i take it for 2 weeks when my period will bother me only for 2 days? ## Probably as a preventative, the symptoms that cause menstrual cramping actually start to build up for awhile, before the bleeding actually starts.
