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. Or sometimes, i feel like my mind creates..pains..phsycological.. and i end up taking them. I ...

ARTHRITUS ## my doctor just prescribed anaproxin ds for my plantars faciitis Is this similar to Advil or Ibuprofen? 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?

white long not scored pill with H 2 on one side and blank on the other. rounded on the ends ## H2 is actually 550 mg of Naproxen ( Anaprox ), which does provide pain relief but is totally different from Hydrocodone. This is actually considered an anti-inflammatory, whereas Hydocodone is a narcotic. ## Roy is absolutely correct, this is not a narcotic, nor related to one. This is a prescription strength of the medication your normally see sold over the counter in the name brand medication Aleve. ## I have crontic backpain and have been prescribed dyhydrocodiene and codiene phosphate at different times. What is the difference? ## Johos, both of those drugs are closely related to one-another and are typically prescribed for the same things. I am not sure why they would switch you between o...

It's in the same family as advil. (antiinflammatory) A lot of girls take them for period cramps. But they could also be for other pains such as toothaches, headaches and general pulls (etc) Did you think of asking your daughter what she is taking? ## It is used for cramps I...

what does Naprosyn look like? Large White/Tan pill? ## I have been prescribed Naproxen Sodium 550mg Tab ITP. My pill is an oblong, blue tablet with the markings "IP" & "194" on one side.

I'm taking Naproxen Sodium/Anaprox DS,and Sulfameth/Trimethoprim/Bactrim DS, for an infection and Percocets for pain. Recently started using Sudafed for my sinuses, would any of these cause a false positive for meth? ## Based on my research, none of the drugs mentioned are "notable" for causing a false positive for meth: Naproxen (Aleve) - false positive for THC, Marijuana Anaprox - false positive for THC, Marijuana Bactrim - may test positive for benzodiazepines Percocet - will test positive (not false) for opiates "The chances of you getting a false positive depends on the quality of the laboratory that does the testing. There seems to be about 1,200 of these labs in the United States currently testing for drugs. Less than a 100 of these meet federal standards and most...
