Naproxen vs Vioxx
 | Naproxen |  | Vioxx |  |
| 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. | Consult your pharmacist. | |||

| 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 Vioxx review no advirse troubles when using this drug. I had relief and was able to move much better. I have a variety of back issues, arthritis, etc and nothing has worked like Vioxx. I wish something was as effective but now I take Vicodin for the pain, which I really hate to do. When I was on vioxx,Oral, I had no problems. It eased my pain (lower back disc) and I was very upset that it went off the market. Since then, I have been given less than adaquate drugs for my back. I wish they would do more studies with more people than just a few complainers before stripping medicine that works for most than just the few. I say do another study and stop cry babies that just want to make a buck. | |||
