Will Naproxen help for tramadol withdrawal reflief? Joint aches, headache, restless legs, can't sleep etc??? ## Hi Jonny, From what I've seen online, it appears that others have also inquired about this as well. And as far as Naproxen is concerned, many people tend to believe that it wont help much, if at all, when it comes to dealing with Tramadol withdrawal relief (since it's not in the same drug class and is also considered to be much weaker than Tramadol at that). My advice would be to look into what's called the "Thomas Recipe" at: personal.umich.edu/~timaster/biopsych/home.html This is said to be one of the most common methods used for an "at home detox" and seems to have gotten a lot of positive feedback in terms of helping alleviate Tramadol withd...

Taking mylan nifedipine er and teva naproxen 250 mg together alright? ## Hello, Doreen! How are you? No, it might not be safe for you to take any NSAID, if you have high blood pressure. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications can sometimes cause elevated blood pressure as side effects, along with fluid retention, which can further contribute to the problem, so you shouldn't take them, without your doctor's approval. Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker that's most commonly used to teat hypertension and certain cardiac conditions, its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

How are you? How long have you been taking the antibiotic? If it's working, then there should be no worsening of your condition after a full 24 hours and you should see improvement after taking it for a full 3 days. Side effects to this antibiotic may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash, headache and diarrhea. Only your doctor can diagnose gangrene. However, the fact that you are diabetic and smoke does put you at increase...

Please tell me the shelf life of Naproxen Sodium 550 mg. Thank you, Druchel Haley ## Every prescription medication, sold in the U.S. must have a shelf life of a year from the original fill-date. Thus, if you had picked it up today, 08/23/2010, the expiration would be 08/23/2011. Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, used to treat pain and swelling. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and stomach irritation. Read more: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## I was looking for the same answer and saw this. 36 Months is the shelf life for Naproxen, not 12. What you were told was the prescription life. By law prescriptions cannot last longer than a year. They are two separate things. Medicines don't all go bad on day #366 If further validation is...

My naproxen was filled 7/2011. Is it ok to take now (10-2012)?. ## Hi Turtle, There's actually a lot of conflicting information around the topic of expired medication, but according to a Harvard Medical School family health article, except in rare cases (i.e. tetracycline), there is little chance of danger due to taking medications even up to 15 years beyond their expiration date. This conclusion was based upon a study conducted at the request of the US military due to stockpiles of expensive drugs they could otherwise need to replace every few years. The conclusion was that 90% of those drugs remained effective 10 - 15 years after the expiration date. But the question is whether or not the drug you have happens to be one of these drugs from the study... (I have not seen the list of...

I have been taking naproxen for heel pain but whilst on it i got a really bad dose of head cold and also took a cold and flue capsule. I experienced a tight chest( probably the cold ) and became a little breathless with exertion, so I stopped taking both. Doctor said I had a chest infection and gave me antibiotics. After my cold cleared up and i finished the course of anti biotics i started to use the naproxen again and once again noticed breathlessness. I have now stopped taking them as it is mentioned to be one of the side effects, I wonder how long does this drug remain in your system, as after 30hrs without them i still feel a little breathless. ## Hello, Jackie! How are you doing? No, it shouldn't still be causing it that long after taking it. Have you ever had high blood press...

Arthritis Neck pain is pretty intense. Was prescribed Ibuprofin 800s and pharm said to take four Advils. Been taking four in the morning and four at night for a couple weeks now. Hearing about kidney issues..what is another way to ease the pain of arthritis in the neck? Is TENS therapy something I should consider? And what is your opinion on the units being sold in drugstores these days? ## Hello, Jefflaur! How are you? Are you having kidney issues? Do you have kidney disease? If so, there's likely not much reason to worry about it, at this point. Such medications can also affect your liver, but there's no need to stop taking them, unless your doctor has instructed you to do so. As to alternatives, there are actually many available, but you'd need to discuss your options wit...

I have to have blood work and take Naproxen. Dont want the results messed up so should I stop taking it? If so how long before the test? Thanks ## Hello, Polly! How are you? The information says they only need to be stopped for 48 hours, before any such sample is given. However, it depends on what specific tests are being ordered, so you may want to check with your doctor, or the lab, as you may not have to stop taking it. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have a yellow capsule that says APO 500 on one side. I also have another yellow capsule that can come apart and its says APO 250 on one side. Does anyone know what these pills are? ## Hello, Jonesy! How are you? From what I can find, the first one with the APO 500marking contains 500mgs of Naproxen Sodium, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. However, so far, I've been unable to find an identification for the other one. But I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else recognize the capsule?

I had found a pill that has IP190 on one side n 500 on the other side n I need to know what it is. It is oblong and tan ## The only listing I can find for this is for a white tablet that contains 500mgs of Naproxen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Can you double check the marking and post back? Thanks!

which is better for pain naproxen sodium 550 mg or acetamino/codeine 300-30 mg for a C-section ## Hello, Maria! How are you? Which has been prescribed for you? The Acetaminophen with Codeine is a little stronger, since the Codeine is a mild narcotic. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

A white, oblong tablet with 93-6 printed on it in blue is listed as containing 500mgs of Naproxen Sodium, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increase risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## No thanks you helped me a great deal.

Have nerve pain from l4 l5 surgery. Year ago. Nothing helps am taking two NAproxens ok every four hours ## Hello, Millie! How are you? The 220mg tablets? If so, you may be exceeding the maximum safe daily dosage. That could create a risk of liver damage or failure, since this is nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Is your doctor aware that you're taking that many each day? Are you on any other medications?

I was prescribed this prescription by the doctor for pain, but from what I was reading about side effects they can really do more damage. For example, headaches and nausea? I want to be able to take this for pain but not get more pains. ## This tablet contains 500mgs of Naproxen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. And yes, its common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. But you may not experience them, not everyone does. The only thing you can do is try it and see how it works for you. Is there anything else I can help with?

I took 15 naproxen and 4 Tylenol last night and I feel fine. I'm just scared I caused permanent damage to my body, what should I do? ## You should report this to your doctor, as soon as possible. It would be best to have them do some blood work, that way if there is a problem arising from this overdose, it can be caught early and corrected. How are you feeling, now?
