Avatar f tn Can Ibuprofen cause dizziness, ear pain, stuffiness, and feelings of passing out if taken several times a week?
Avatar m tn Naproxen is an NSAID (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), along the lines of Motrin (ibuprofen). It can be rough on the tummy, and is usually not recommended in people who have a history of a GI Bleed, bleeding ulcers, etc. Read more here: http://www.drugs.com/naproxen.
Avatar n tn Correct. Ibuprofen or Naproxen, but not both. One or the other. I find Naproxen the most helpful, as it works more quickly. Aleve is a brand name for OTC Naproxen. Tyelenol is in a different category. Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) are the ones you want to treat inflammation. Aspirin is also in this class. Again, only use one form of these and not all of them.
Avatar f tn NSAIDS, such as ibuprofen and naproxen work. I sometimes prescrible long active naproxen if the flu-like symptoms last. Of course remember that there are 20,000 deaths annualy from bleeding ulcers from these drugs. 2. Some people think that acetaminophen helps. If you are still having so many side effects, you should probably talk to your neurologist.
Avatar f tn Naproxen is just ibuprofen, which is Motrin and Aleve. I would think Celebrex would help a lot more than Naproxen. It can't hurt to ask for it. Naproxen didn't do anything for me, except hurt my stomach. The Celebrex helped a lot, right away.
1383753 tn?1279389003 Dr Brown, thanks so much after I posted this question I remembered my doctor prescribed Naproxen for me sadly I was out :-( but i found some Motrin ibuprofen in my first aid kit I took 4 (800mg total) and haven't had any pain since!!
Avatar m tn whenever i take even one 550mg (naproxen) ibuprofen and then drink, my stomach gets tender and bloated and i feel bad. i usually take a maalox or something like that, yet i never throw up from it so i don't know if that's applicable for you. i think it is due to the ibuprofen, but if you're not used to eating spicy foods then it could have disagreed with you, not necessarily meaning food poisoning. you should never drink and take NSAIDs at the same time.
1839738 tn?1318548053 I feel a little better after opting for naproxen and a stronger ibuprofen dosis. I dont want to risk it. Thanks for the advice.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone - question - did any of you avoid taking ibuprofen (advil) between ovulation and when AF should arrive? I suffer from a lot of headaches and migraines and ibuprofen has always worked so well for my headaches. Tylenol hardly helps at all. Anyway, I've been finding it difficult during the 2ww. Should I be avoiding ibuprofen during that time?
Avatar n tn tramadol and co-codamol can be taken together. tramadol is a morphine salt based drug which acts on the brains pain receptor. co-codamol comes in different strengths, all with 500mg of paracetamol per tablet. some with 8/15/30 or 60mg codiene. co-codamol acts upon the sensory nerves and motor neurons. when combined these 2 drugs provide very effective relief of moderate to severe pain.
10678677 tn?1413254266 Tylenol (acetaminophen) is safe, but do not take ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve). For cold medications you must read the label because you should not use something with dextromethorphan (cough suppressant). Also, some already contain acetaminophen so you don't want to take double doses.
Avatar f tn Be really careful with all NSAIDS Ibuprofen and Naproxen are both NSAIDS. Mellie83 is right that they are hard on the stomach. I thought I was being careful in my use of the Naproxen the neurologist wants me to use on my migraines. I still ended up with gastritis. And, I already have GERD. You don't want to add gastritis to your list of problems when you're dealing with FMS already!
1523516 tn?1330044257 Do any of you take neurontin and naproxen together. Any side effects. I'm having issues and don't know if I'm getting a virus or this is a reaction. Thank you so much!
Avatar f tn I have Crohns Disease, I have read that NSAIDS are not a good thing to take. I'm having issues with my GI doctor. I have been trying to manage my symptoms of pain(sharp and throbbing) in my lower right and left side of the abdominal area. I asked my GI what to take and he said tylenol. I also asked if I could also take ibuprofen and naproxen sodium because tylenol isn't working well and he said yes, just not at once. This doesn't seem right. Am I wrong in this assumption?
Avatar n tn The first and second days of my period I get HORRIBLE cramps to the point where I want to vomit, can't walk, sleep or do anything. I try ibuprofen and it never helps. Is this normal?
Avatar f tn Hi there. Welcome. Well, I've only ever taken ibuprofen for cramping. I take 4 tabs if it is bad. That really does work for me.
1386405 tn?1291587800 hi this i defo something no about with my last pregnancy i had severe headaches and i was taking ibuprofen i was taken them all the time but i finally went to the doctors because the pain wouldn't settle and the doctor said DO NOT take ibuprofen just take cocodomal i think thats how you spell it lol.
963889 tn?1359677334 My girlfriend had an open biopsy on her kidneys and it showed ibuprofen caused the damage. Her doctor in Florida did some research on Ibuprofen and then did a report for the AMA. Ibruprofen (advil and etc) is the number one cause of kidney failure of over the counter products in the Nation.
Avatar n tn Try simple over the counter ones such as ibuprofen or naproxen. If your muscle spasms continue then follow up with an orthopedician for a proper diagnosis of your condition. Take care!
Avatar n tn 00 PM, then in the afternoon the next day, I'd still have the equivalent of 1 unit of Naproxen in my system due to half-life metabolization. This would mean that if I drank alcohol that afternoon, it is the same as if I had just taken 1 naproxen on top of whatever I'm drinking. Yes? I would think so because the liver still has that unit to metabolize on top of the alcohol you are now consuming.
Avatar n tn There is no easy answer because it depends upon how long you have been taking an opiate. The major problem is respiratory depression and resultant respiratory arrest. A patient regularly taking opiates can take 80-100 mg of oxycodone and suffer no respiratory difficulties. A new patient, however, staring at that dose may stop breathing. Similarly, if there is a hiatus and several weeks elapse the 80-100 mg of oxycodone may cause death because the cells reset.
Avatar m tn Hi last monday I had a toothache and took quite a few painkillers (ibuprofen mainly) and ever since I have been pooping blood, and last night I had what seemed to be a panic attack (unable to speak, rapid heartbeat, struggling to breathe) and now this afternoon my right eye bag has swollen and hurts every time I blink or close my eyes. Could all these thing be linked or are they separate matters? And should I consult medical advice or see if it all calms down?
Avatar f tn A Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) such as ibuprofen or naproxen can cause false positives for barbiturate immunoassays. Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_could_cause_a_false_positive_on_a_drug_test_for_barbiturates#ixzz286DyxPKp Soma (carisoprodol) is metabolized as a barbiturate and I've also heard zoloft can, as well. I have also just read that NSAID's such as ibuprofen and naproxen can give a 0.4% false positive rate.
Avatar m tn My pulse is exceptionally weak and my blood pressure is 156/90 after taking one (1) 500mg Naproxen and an amphetamine. I went and got my blood pressure checked, as well as my resting heart rate. The nurse never actually tried to feel my pulse, though. So I came home and I am very worried about how weak my pulse is. Has anybody heard weather or not taking Naproxen with an amphetamine can be harmful because it is not in the drug facts and I cannot find anything about it online either.
