∙ 13y agoAs an NSAID, it has more in common with ibuprofen (Advil) and aspirin (Bayer) than with acetaminophen (Tylenol). As such, the primary risk factor is not to the liver but to the stomach. It can potentially hurt the stomach: especially if your stomach already has other conditions like ulcers, so doctors normally say to take it with food.

∙ 13y agoIt is a drug in the NSAID (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) group. It reduced inflammation causing a number of discomforts. Naproxen is stronger than the more popular Ibuprofen, however it is typically more safe to take ibuprofen on a regular basis. 500 mg is a strong dose.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking or changing any medication.

How long do you have to leave the bandage on your leg for swelling?
The acronym taught to healthcare professionals for generations comes into play here: RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation). Put an elastic bandage at relatively moderate compression AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Inflammation and swelling will occur within minutes. You don't want it tight enough to become a tourniquet, you shouldn't feel excessive throbbing and lack of circulation. Time is more important than tightness. Elevate your leg with and ice pack and about every 2 hours take off the bandage for 15 minutes and replace. Cycle should continue for 1 day, after which most of the inflammation that will have occurred already has. Also, Take a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent such as naproxyn twice daily for several days.
Can c naproxen cause heart palpitations?
First let me qualify my statements: I'm am an MD, anesthesiologist quite therefore knowledgeable of the heart. Also, I've suffered a-fib and stable atrial arrhythmia for over 20 yrs and recently rare PvC's . Recently been significantly more arrythmogenic and realized they were PVCs about 4/minute and occasional couplets. A month in I also realized that I'd started taking Naproxyn Sodium 500mg prn for neck pain and had started it about a week before my new pattern of arrhythmias. Web research showed relatively small but significant correlation so I stopped taking. I now have severe neck pain and arm numbness but my PVCs have all but disappeared, decreasing over days to none or maybe rare now. For me by my own realization and objective research YES to your question but perhaps one's heart must be prone to arrhythmia in the first place. Either way there seems to be an association to consider. H.A., MD, New York
Can you take Elavil and Naproxen together?
Yes, there is no problem in taking those 2 drugs together as long as both are prescribed for you. There is no interaction. High doses of Elavil (50 mg and more) might hurt the stomach. You can take it with food if needed.
Can you take naproxen and sudafed together?
For a short time in a reasonable dose.If you are generally healthy, you can take the recommended dosages of naproxen (Aleve) and aspirin together for a few days. If you are prone to stomach, bleeding, or kidney problems, don't do it. But you probably know that already.If you depend on low-dose aspirin for your heart health, ask your doctor. Naproxen can cancel out the benefits of the aspirin.Do NOT take ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) with aspirin. This is the NSAID that is implicated in most serious interactions with aspirin."We, therefore, conclude that the metabolic interaction, although real, results in changes of such small magnitude as to be of no clinical significance.Together?You should NOT take aspirin and naproxen sodium simultaneously.You can google on naproxen sodium side effects and get tons of info.AnswerI wouldn't. If naproxen isn't solving the problem you might want to get some medical attention. That's some pretty strong stuff and it should take care of most minor pain and inflamation.
