Naproxen vs Vicodin
 | Naproxen |  | Vicodin |  |
| Naproxen is used to relieve pain from various conditions such as headaches, muscle aches, tendonitis, dental pain, and menstrual cramps. It also reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis, bursitis, and gout attacks. Naproxen is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. | Vicodin is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains a narcotic pain reliever (hydrocodone) and a non-narcotic pain reliever (acetaminophen). Hydrocodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever. | |||

| Add Naproxen review Muscular pain went away but numerous large red spots appeared on my lower legs. Doctor said stop naprocyn and get checked by dermotologist. I took only 4-5 pills Feel extremely nauseous taking this medication, took it with food but still felt sick every Morning. Worked decently on joint pain. I was prescribed this for a sprained ankle..at 500mg. Three days later i'm having bloody stools. I am also talking meds for my depression that the doc knew about!!!! Not happy!!! weight gain---water retension I was taking Vioxx for back pain for less than a year and developed an ulcer. Then the Dr. prescribed Naproxen after my ulcer was repaired. Not a good drug for me. Naproxen started the ulcer again, major stomach pain, heartburn, and nausea at times. I have discovered, for me, that I cannot take any kind of anti-inflammatory drug, even over the counter ibiproferin (?) will start my stomach pain ... | Add Vicodin review somerelief Good drug - especially for my sinus infections. My only side effect - mild hot flashes for about 15 mins i have been given ms contin 15mg for a change. the new drug does not seem to help the pain as much. i am having muscle spasms. is this normal? | |||
