ibuprofen

1328595 tn?1283018449 I am doubting this is any heart-related problem, but GI upset secondary to the Naprosyn. Perhaps you can try another NSAID, i.e. Ibuprofen. Are you taking the Naprosyn with food and water?
Avatar m tn I am using naproxan for chronic pain. Naproxan and Naprosyn are in the same class of nsaid's and actually when dispensed in generic may be the same drug. I have had great sucess with the naproxan. I wouldn't ever give it a chance when I was getting narcotic painkiller and when I got clean and had no choice but to try it and guess what it works great for me. I have to take at least one a day to keep the pain away and as long as I take it with food I have no stomach problems.
Avatar f tn Whether or not he can take NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, naprosyn) and how much he can take will depend on whether he has varices or any other gastric problems. He really needs a good doctor to examine him and advise him on these isues.
Avatar f tn NSAIDs are medications like aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve and Naprosyn). These medications help with certain kinds of pain, but cause great stress on your digestive system and liver. So, doses should be limited to advice on the label and these meds should always be taken with food. Acetaminophen is a different kind of drug that is milder on the stomach, but doses over 3g or 3000mg per day can be toxic to your liver. Again, follow the instructions on the bottle.
Avatar n tn SAIDS like Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, Naprosyn and Relafen provide relief. The medication should be started 2-3 days before the beginning of the periods and continued till the end of periods. Because the therapy is for short period, the risk of gastrointestinal side effects is very limited. Take care!
Avatar n tn they must not take aspirin or nonsteroidal inti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) at any time due to the risk of kidney damage. Common NSAIDS to avoid are Motrin, Ibuprofen, Advil, Aleve, and Naprosyn. Any cold medication or decongestants containing pseudoephedrine or other decongestants should be avoided unless your doctor has given permission. Tylenol for headache or pain - not for fever - can be taken not to exceed 1800mg in 24 hrs. Consult with your surgeons office for additional screens.
962875 tn?1314210036 Other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), apparently also lowered the risks. Acetaminophen (Tylenol), which is not an NSAID, did not. These findings need to be confirmed in other clinical trials. PLEASE NOTE: Women considering trying this should consult with their doctors first, because aspirin is associated with a higher risk of bleeding, especially in older adults and in those taking certain medications.
Avatar f tn Studies have demonstrated that at certain dosages, ibuprofen can stress the liver and elevate liver enzymes in people with Hepatitis C. Ibuprofen must be used with extreme caution in the later stages of liver disease and for those on interferon therapy. 3. Aspirin – (Bayer, Anacin, Excedrin and others) reduces fever, relieves pain, and acts as an anti-inflammatory and blood thinner.
Avatar m tn s and A-Fib. I am not a medical person, but unlike the previous comment, I can spell definite and Aleve. In my case, despite a strong healthy heart according to nuclear stress tests and echo cardiograms, I began having episodes of atrial fibrillation nine months ago at the age of 66. At the time I was taking Advil for some minor joint pain and the A-Fib started.
Avatar n tn These medications include aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) or naproxen (Aleve or Naprosyn). If you take these drugs for a chronic medical condition, consult with your doctor about to what to do. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be taken for fever or pain. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
712802 tn?1274645485 For me, ibuprofen did not help, nor did acetaminophen, aspirin, or naprosyn (no I did not try them out at once) Immodium is a must for sure, as worried878 indicates...and I recommend a product called Emetrol if you experience nausea. I did, and the Emetrol helped me.
513154 tn?1340225289 I have a question about Osteoarthritis and the pain that comes with it. Last November I had 5, 6, and 7 upper vertebra fused together and feel so much better in that way BUT i can't take anti inflammatory medications for my Osteoarthritis, Tylenol doesn't even help a bit and non of the arthritis over the counter meds help either. My question is... is there a non narcotic pain medication that I can take every day? I am 45 years old and very healthy besides my arthritis. thank you!
1341055 tn?1276067916 Have you tried taking any anti-inflammatories-e.g. Ibuprofen(Motrin) or Aleve(Naprosyn,Naproxen) - or any Tylenol? Parents should be notified before you take anything in case there are any allergies to those OTC's.

Avatar m tn Naprosyn Warnings Hepatic Effects Borderline elevations of one or more liver tests may occur in up to 15% of patients taking NSAIDs including Naprosyn, EC-Naprosyn, ANAPROX, ANAPROX DS and Naprosyn Suspension. Hepatic abnormalities may be the result of hypersensitivity rather than direct toxicity. These laboratory abnormalities may progress, may remain essentially unchanged, or may be transient with continued therapy.
Avatar m tn I don't think I would be thinking of taking a pill if the pain would subside some. Last night I took 2 xtra strength Tylenol's and 2 ibuprofen for back and hip pain. Will this get better? I was up all night with the pain. I can take the depression but the pain is kicking my *ss.
Avatar n tn I have tried several anti inflammatory medications, ibuprofen, arthritis strength tylenol, naprosyn to name a few, and nothing seems to alleviate my discomfort. A friend suggested I try using progesterone cream ( natural Yam) and I immediately felt relief of my joint pain. Is joint pain an actual symptom of menopause? Is progesterone cream safe to use? The comfort I gain from using the cream seems to wear off toward the end of the day. Can I use it twice a day?
356054 tn?1218552475 I keep dumpin' 'em in, don't wanna off myself though, so I'm taking the most I can safely. 800 mg of Ibuprofen every 4-6 hours. It's like this pain is literally a monster and I cannot kill it. I know I am tough, I feel like a jerk for whining, but sometimes even a toughy can have a bad spell.
475555 tn?1469304339 t allow the use of NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin, naprosyn, oxyprosin) see if you can get an opioid like hydrocodone straight, without any anti-inflammatories compounded into it.
Avatar f tn I tried them all, none worked for me but the ibuprofen and only Naprosyn (trade name Aleve) works for my husband. Discuss your pain with your physician. He may offer something to help with the detox that will in turn may help ease your pain. Our members may have additional suggestions for you. I find that just chatting here and sharing my pain and flares is helpful. I hope you will find the same to be true. Best of luck and please keep in touch.
18663 tn?1198171815 Hello Jack, This is a very good question. There are many medications that are ototoxic to our ears causing hearing loss and tinnitus, some have permanent effects while others have side effects only while taking the medication. On your particular list, Asprin stands out the most. Asprin does cause hearing los & tinnitus as do most of the NSAIDS (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs).
Avatar n tn The most recent on was to the new acia berry extract! How ridiculous is that?? I also have the same reaction to naprosyn, but I can take naproxen sodium (Aleve) just fine. I am menopausal, but when I was having menstrual cycles, I sometimes would break out at certain times during the month when hormonal levels would change. Any idea what chemical or hormone might cause my reactions?
Avatar f tn I was given a list of drugs to review and stop taking any that I may be on for 10 days before procedure. I am having trouble determining whether my migraine medication, Imitrex, is one them. Sumitriptan and naproxen are not on the list, but since this drug narrows blood vessels, I wonder if it's best not to take it before surgery.
