  • Effects last longer than other NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen (Advil)
  • Available as a liquid for people who have a hard time swallowing pills

pharmacist-tips-icon

Pharmacist tips for Naproxen (Naprosyn)

pharmacist
  • You're recommended to take naproxen (Naprosyn) with food or milk because it can cause stomach-related side effects, such as stomach pain and irritation.
  • While you might notice your pain easing within minutes or days after taking naproxen (Naprosyn), it might take several weeks before the swelling goes down. Depending on what you're taking naproxen (Naprosyn) for, you might need to continue treatment for a few weeks before you know whether this medication is helping or not.
  • Some naproxen (Naprosyn) tablets, such as delayed-release naproxen (Naprosyn), have a special coating on it. In general, swallow naproxen (Naprosyn) whole and don't break, crush, or chew the tablets. Doing so will damage the special coating and affect how naproxen (Naprosyn) is absorbed by your body. Check with your pharmacist if you can break the tablets.
  • Naproxen (Naprosyn) raises the risk of stomach bleeding. Seek medical help right away if you experience unexplained vomiting or stomach pain, dark-colored stools, or blood in your vomit or stool. Also, limit or avoid the amount of alcohol because it can raise your risk for stomach bleeding and other stomach-related side effects from naproxen (Naprosyn).
  • Naproxen (Naprosyn) can make blood pressure medications not work as well. If you have high blood pressure, your HCP might ask you to check your blood pressure more often when taking naproxen (Naprosyn).
  • Don't take naproxen (Naprosyn) with other NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil). Doing so puts you at higher risk for stomach bleeds, stroke, and heart attack. NSAIDs are commonly found in over-the-counter pain and cold medications. Talk with your healthcare professional (HCP) or pharmacist if you're not sure whether you're already taking an NSAID.
  • If you're taking aspirin for your heart, make sure to ask your HCP if it's safe for you to also take naproxen (Naprosyn). Taking both medications together raises your risk for side effects.
  • If you're pregnant, talk to your healthcare team about safer alternatives than naproxen (Naprosyn) for pain. It should be avoided during the second half of pregnancy because it might cause problems to your unborn baby or cause complications during delivery.
  • If you're breastfeeding, discuss with your healthcare team about the risks and benefits of taking naproxen (Naprosyn). Limited research shows that naproxen (Naprosyn) can get into breastmilk. This means there might be a small risk of harm to the breastfed baby.

More tips for the oral suspension:

  • Store the naproxen (Naprosyn) oral suspension at room temperature and keep it in the original bottle it comes in to protect it from light.
  • Shake the bottle of naproxen (Naprosyn) suspension well before each dose. Use a medication dose cup or an oral syringe to measure your dose of naproxen (Naprosyn). Ask your pharmacy to provide you with one if the product doesn't include it in its packaging or if you need extras. Don't use household spoons because they might not be accurate and might cause you to take the wrong dose.

Common questions about Naproxen (Naprosyn)

If you're taking naproxen (Naprosyn) for pain, you might feel your pain starting to improve 30 to 60 minutes after a dose. And it can take about 4 hours to feel the full effects of this medication. If you're taking naproxen (Naprosyn) for inflammatory conditions, like rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis, you might start to feel better after a week. And it can take about 2 weeks to notice the full benefits of this medication. Talk to your prescriber if you're concerned with how well naproxen (Naprosyn) is working for you.

You should only take naproxen (Naprosyn) for headaches if prescribed by your HCP. While naproxen (Naprosyn) can help with headaches, it might not be appropriate for you depending on what's causing your headache and what other health conditions you have. For example, if you have migraines fairly often, your HCP might caution against taking naproxen (Naprosyn) for pain relief each time because doing so might lead to rebound headaches. In this case, your HCP might ask you to consider a medication to prevent migraines instead. Talk with your healthcare team if you have more questions on naproxen (Naprosyn) and headache.

Prescription-strength naproxen (Naprosyn) is only available by prescription from a healthcare professional (HCP). But there is an over-the-counter (OTC) form, naproxen (Aleve), that's commonly found in most retail pharmacies.

Yes, it's possible for naproxen (Naprosyn) to make you sleepy. In clinical studies, up to 9% of people reported sleepiness after taking naproxen (Naprosyn). When you first start naproxen (Naprosyn), pay attention to how this medication is making you feel. If you feel too sleepy to go about your day, contact your prescriber. They can check to see if the sleepiness is caused by naproxen (Naprosyn) or other factors.

Yes, naproxen (Naprosyn) can cause constipation as a side effect. To keep your risk of constipation low, try to eat fiber-rich foods, such as broccoli, spinach, and whole grains. It's also important to stay hydrated by drinking enough water. If these and other lifestyle changes don't work, ask your pharmacist or primary care provider about over-the-counter treatment options for constipation, such as docusate (Colace) or polyethylene glycol (Miralax).

Yes, naproxen (Naprosyn) can potentially raise your blood pressure because it can cause your body to hold on to more salt and fluid. If you have high blood pressure or if you're taking blood pressure medications, ask your cardiologist or primary care provider whether naproxen (Naprosyn) is a good option for you. If you choose to start naproxen (Naprosyn), your healthcare team might ask you to check your blood pressure more often while you're taking naproxen (Naprosyn). Let them know if you notice any changes in your blood pressure after starting this medication.

No, naproxen and ibuprofen aren't the same. But they're both NSAIDs used for a variety of types of pain and inflammation. Additionally, both medications have an over-the-counter and prescription-strength forms. One main difference between naproxen and ibuprofen is how often you take them. Naproxen is typically taken every 8 to 12 hours, while ibuprofen is usually taken every 4 to 6 hours. Talk to your healthcare professional (HCP) if you have questions about the differences between both medications.

Naproxen (Naprosyn) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) don't have any known interactions. Both medications work a little differently to relieve pain and fever. Some healthcare professionals might recommend to take both medications, or alternate between the two medications if either one alone isn't working to relieve pain. Keep in mind that acetaminophen (Tylenol) can raise the risk for liver damage, so it's not a good option for everyone. Check with your healthcare team to see if you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) with naproxen (Naprosyn).

Risks and warnings for Naproxen (Naprosyn)

Naproxen (Naprosyn) can cause some serious health issues. This risk may be even higher for certain groups. If this worries you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.

Stomach bleeding

  • Risk factors: Older adult | History of stomach bleeding or bleeding problems | Liver problems | Taking other medications that raise your risk of bleeds | Drinking alcohol | Smoking | Taking naproxen (Naprosyn) for a long time

Warning Icon Naproxen (Naprosyn), like all NSAIDS, raises your risk for stomach ulcers (sores) and bleeds. Stomach bleeding can happen at anytime during treatment; it's a dangerous side effect that requires treatment right away. Often times, people who have stomach bleeds don't experience any symptoms. Make sure to tell your healthcare professional (HCP) or pharmacist about all of your conditions and medications before starting naproxen (Naprosyn) so they can talk with you about your risk for stomach bleeding. If you're feeling faint, vomiting blood, have bloody or dark stools, or have severe stomach pain or discomfort that doesn't go away while taking naproxen (Naprosyn), seek medical attention right away.

Heart attack and stroke

  • Risk factors: Heart problems | Taking higher doses of naproxen (Naprosyn) | Taking naproxen (Naprosyn) for a long time | Past or planned heart surgery

Warning Icon Naproxen (Naprosyn) might raise your risk of having blood clots, which can cause a heart attack or stroke. To lower your risk of blood clots and heart problems, your HCP will prescribe naproxen (Naprosyn) for the shortest time needed to treat your condition. If you have heart problems, talk to your HCP before starting this medication. Don't take naproxen (Naprosyn) if you had, or will have, heart surgery. Call 911 or get immediate help if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness on one side of your body, or trouble speaking or walking.

High blood pressure and heart failure

  • Risk factors: Heart problems

Naproxen (Naprosyn) can cause your body to hold onto extra fluid, which can raise your blood pressure or put you at risk for heart failure. Tell your HCP if you have a history of heart problems, or are taking blood pressure medications, before starting naproxen (Naprosyn) to make sure it's safe for you. Your HCP will screen you for heart problems before starting you on this medication. Some forms of naproxen (Naprosyn) contains sodium, so it's important to keep track of how much you're getting from your doses if you're on a low-salt diet. If you experience unexplained fainting, chest pain with physical activity, or irregular heartbeat while taking naproxen (Naprosyn), contact your HCP.

Kidney damage

  • Risk factors: Older adult | Kidney problems | Heart failure | Liver problems | High blood sugar levels | Not enough fluids in the body (dehydration) | Taking other medications that can cause kidney problems

Naproxen (Naprosyn) can cause kidney problems. Your risk is higher if you have certain factors like older age, certain medical problems like diabetes, or you're taking medications that can cause kidney problems. Your healthcare professional might order lab tests to monitor your kidney health before and during treatment with naproxen (Naprosyn). If your kidney health worsens, your HCP might stop your naproxen (Naprosyn) treatment. Contact your HCP if you develop any signs or symptoms of kidney failure, including changes in your need to urinate, tiredness, dry and itchy skin, low appetite, and muscle cramps.

Liver problems

  • Risk factors: History of liver problems

Though rare, naproxen (Naprosyn) can cause serious liver problems that can lead to liver failure. Get medical attention right away if you notice swelling of your stomach, stomach pain, yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes, stool changes (black, tarry, or bloody stools), nausea, vomiting, confusion, or dark or brown urine. You might need to stop using the medication to prevent further liver damage.

Severe allergic reactions

  • Risk factors: Aspirin allergy | NSAID allergy

Severe allergic reactions to naproxen (Naprosyn) are possible, including life-threatening reactions like facial swelling, shock, and anaphylaxis. Let your HCP know if you have an allergy to aspirin or other NSAIDs before starting naproxen (Naprosyn). If you notice hives, rash, red skin, swelling of the lips or tongue, or difficulty breathing after using naproxen (Naprosyn), get medical attention right away.

Although rare, naproxen (Naprosyn) can cause serious skin reactions called Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), or drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). If you notice changes in your skin, such as rash, blisters, skin reddening, or skin peeling, stop using naproxen (Naprosyn) and get medical attention right away.

Not for use in pregnant or breastfeeding females

Naproxen (Naprosyn) can cause harm to your unborn baby, especially if it's taken in the second half of pregnancy (after week 20). It can cause serious complications, such as heart or kidney problems in your unborn baby or problems during delivery. Speak to your HCP about the risks and benefits of taking naproxen (Naprosyn) if you're pregnant before taking this medication. Ask whether there are safer alternatives.
