What Is Naproxen Made Of

What are naproxen pills made with? ## Hello, Reba! How are you? Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. If you wish to know the inactive ingredients, I need more details, such as who the manufacturer is, or what the markings are on the tablets. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! ## I think she means what is it made of, in the way that we know aspirin comes from willow tree bark. Where does naproxen come from, how or where did we find it. Ibuprofen has cellulose and corn starch as its parents, what is naproxen's lineage?

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...

Is anyone familiar with a compound that contains Naproxen and Carisoprodol? ## Soma does not contain Naproxen, it only contains the muscle relaxant Carisoprodol. There is a Soma Compound that contains Aspirin and Carisoprodol, but none listed contain Naproxen. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and headache. ## Can you buy Naproxen/carisoprodol 250mg in the United States or Canada over the counter? Or is a prescription required? ## No, this product is not sold in the United States, but it is real and made in Mexico. Here in the U.S. you could buy Soma compound with Codeine or with Aspirin if your Doctor so chooses.

I've been diagnosed with Intracranial Hypertension age 21 an have been prescribed both naproxen and tramacet!! Does any one know if I can take the two together????? ## Hi little one, Based on my research there are no drug interactions found between the active ingredients in Tramacet and Naproxen. This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist, but my sources state that every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is accurate. That said, I would personally feel safe taking the two together. You may also want to consider adding some natural alternatives to the mix (such as essential oils), in conjunction with a diet high in potassium and magnesium (more fruits and veggies). I hope this helps!

Are naproxen 500 Mg tabs gluten free? ## @Wm1202, From what I could gather, the inactive ingredients in Naproxen 500 mg tablets are as follows: -[Croscarmellose sodium]- This comes from wood pulp or cotton fibers. It contains no sugar or starch. -[Povidone]- This is made from synthetic polymers -[Magnesium stearate]- 'Well, we know magnesium is gluten free...' Having seen that list I think it's safe to say that any Naproxen containing this particular set of inactive ingredients is deemed gluten-free. Please be aware however that binders/fillers may be subject to change from one product to the next. I hope this helps!

I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and was wondering if it is ok to take the Naproxen sodium and Hydrocodone 10-325 together. ## Hi Eve, Based on my research there are no drug interactions found between Naproxen sodium and Hydrocodone. This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist, but my sources state that every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is accurate. As such, I would personally think that it would be fine to take these two together whether you have those conditions or not. On the contrary though, if you are taking these together and you notice any side effects that are unpleasant or intolerable (in conjunction with the rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia), I would recommend that you stop taking them and contact your doctor ab...

I took my meds 10 hours ago and I was wondering if I could have 2 glasses of wine? ## Hello, Chela! How are you? No, you should stay away from alcohol while taking prescription medications. This is especially true with the Naproxen, since it may have a detrimental effect on your liver, which can be compounded and made more risky by adding the alcohol, even drinking very little has been known to cause liver failure. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Naproxen as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation and increased risk of bleeding. Nucynta 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. Alcohol with it can worsen the side effects. Is there...

Online this morning, there were a ton of hydrocodone images and this is one that did appear. what do you think about that? just curious if it is really hydrocodone or naproxen ## Hello, Nicki! How are you? This is definitely a 500mg Naproxen tablet. This is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. It may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Learn more Naproxen details here. As to what I think of that, I think it's very common for such errors to be made, mainly by lay people that aren't familiar with medications and don't know how to check and see what a pill actually contains. Many people just assume that any large, oblong tablet must be Vicodin (Hydrocdone/Acetaminophen), because they...

Have had back spasms and severe pain for awhile. All I have is regular naproxen which is doing nothing for my back.
