Naproxen Forums (Page 5)

A few years ago I started to get arthritis pains in my hands late at night, in colder weather/water and after using them a lot. I was told by my grandma I probably have it because it runs in both sides of the family. I took naproxen once and broke out in hives/skin rash on my arms. I no longer take it but I can take Advil with no problems whatsoever. All doctors are very confused by this as they are apart of the same family. I'm confused too. Is there a reason why I can take one but have allergic reactions to the other? ## That is always possible, since no medication is exactly the same as another, when it comes right down to the actual base chemicals. For example, I can take most antibiotics without a problem, but had a bad allergic reaction to Bactrim. It really isn't always t...

I do not know what this pill is... It's white and shaped like an oval with 632 on one side and 375 on the other. Please help. ## Hello, Shells! How are you? I think the marking you are looking at is actually G32 375, it is manufactured by Glenmarks Generics and they list it as containing 375mgs of Naproxen, which is a nonsteroidal ant-inflammatory that is used to treat pain, fever, and swelling. The FDA lists its side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. Can you please double check the imprint and post back? Thank you!

I got the prescription in Jul 2009. There is no expiry date on the bottle. Is it still safe to take it after 4 years? ## Hi, Milica! Once the factory seal on a bottle of tablets has been broken, the expiration date is one year from the date you received it from your pharmacy. Naproxen doesn't get dangerous after it has expired, but it will start to lose potency, which means that after 4 years, they are virtually worthless and should just be disposed of properly. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My name nargis my naproxen tablets 9Aug 2015 its safe

i have to take a drug test form my P O can naproxen cause a false positive. ## There are many medications that can cause false positives, far too many for me to be able to list them all here. However, if you are taking anything else, I will be happy to check them for you, if you post back with more information. As to the Naproxen, yes, it has been known to cause false positives for THC from marijuana.

The pill is oblong peach in color, 341 on one side , ig on other , bottle says generic perocet ## Hi, Fay! Where did you find them? Apparently someone put them in the wrong bottle, because the tablet with IG 341 on it only contains 375mgs of Naproxen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling, so it's not a generic for Percocet. The name brand for this would be Naprosyn. Learn more Naprosyn details here. Percocet contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, so it's a narcotic analgesic. Learn more Percocet details here. ## This pill is PREACH color. IG on one side341 on the OTHER.again WHAT is it. It's not like Motrin IB ?????

planax pro or confor back pain ## Hello, I can't find any information about the drugs you mentioned- I did however find some information on a drug named Flanax (maybe that's what you meant?)

Naproxen and methylcobalamin can be taken together ## Yes, as long as your doctor approves, the Methylcobalamin is just a nutritional supplement.

I have taken 220mg naproxen sodium and 1000mg acetaminophen. Can this hurt me? I woke with fever and pain in head and shoulders and had those available so I took them. Now I am worried as I am feeling dizzy and have a stomach-ache. ## Hello, Jim! How are you? Did you experience any other adverse issues? Those aren't dangerously high doses of either, but mixing them could cause you to experience more severe side effects than usual, you may also experience headache, increased risk of bleeding, and easy bruising, according to the FDA. Thus, it is usually best to stick with just one, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. ## Yes or No please: Does Naproxen contain acetaminophen?

Can naproxen sodium 550mg help with uti infection pain while peeing? I was trying to see if it lessens the pain. ## It might help a little, but you would likely get more relief from Phenazopyridine, it is available over the counter in most drug stores. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, discolored urine, and stomach pain. However, it is specifically used to alleviate the burning and pain that occurs with a UTI. You may want to look for it, if your doctor approves of you trying it. Are you also on an antibiotic?

I was recently taken off pain management after a year-and-a-half. According to my doctor I tested positive for my nude traces of benzodiazepine in my blood work. I have never heard of this before nor was I ever prescribed it. What I was prescribed was Naproxen every month which I later discovered will show up as a false positive for a benzo. I'm 50 years old, was an athlete, have had 18 surgeries. My Pain Scale morning noon and night seems to be a constant 8 and to the point where I feel like I'm actually losing my mind. This pain is mentally deteriorating and physical actually so as I sit here tonight and type this I'm asking for help from anyone in the Spokane Washington area that knows the clinic for pain management that actually trust their patients!

On suboxone and take naproxen for pain and have 2 drug tests showing positive for opiates. Dr said naproxen won't cause a positive for opiates. The suboxone shows positive for buprenorphine and I haven't taken any other opiates. Previous drug screens when I was taking naproxen showed negative for opiates. ## My tcup UA indicated a positive result for opiates, naproxen, gabapentin and loratadine! I've never done opiates in my life of any kind.
