are age 60 or older,have had stomach ulcers or bleeding problems,take a blood thinning (anticoagulant) or steroid drug,take other drugs containing prescription or nonprescription NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, or others),have 3 or more alcoholic drinks every day while using this product,take more or for a longer time than directed. (target.com)
Advil4
Ibuprofen (Advil) may not be the best choice of pain relief during pregnancy, as some evidence suggests it may affect fetal development. (medicalnewstoday.com)
To help with backache, headache, or sore breasts: Try a warm heating pad or acetaminophen (Tylenol or store brand), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, or store brand), or naproxen (Aleve or store brand). (kidshealth.org)

Naproxen, sold under the brand name Aleve among others, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain, menstrual cramps, inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout and fever. (wikipedia.org)
Aspirin3
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are: under a doctor's care for any serious condition,taking aspirin for heart attack or stroke, because naproxen may decrease this benefit of aspirin,taking any other drug. (target.com)
Contains: In Each Tablet: Warnings: Allergy Alert: Naproxen sodium may cause a severe allergic reaction, especially in people allergic to aspirin. (safeway.com)
Ibuprofen may cause a severe allergic reaction, especially in people allergic to aspirin. (drugs.com)
Sodium6
Naproxen sodium is used as a "bridge therapy" in medication-overuse headache to slowly take patients off other medications. (wikipedia.org)
Naproxen sodium is available as both an immediate release and as an extended release tablet. (wikipedia.org)
In Each Tablet: Active Ingredients: *Naproxen Sodium (Naproxen 200 mg) (NSAID) (220 mg), Pain Reliver/Fever Reducer. (safeway.com)
It is especially important not to use naproxen sodium during the last 3 months of pregnancy unless definitely directed to do so by a doctor because it may cause problems in the unborn child or complications during delivery. (safeway.com)
Diclofenac4
The aim of our research is to detect residues of four pain-killer drugs-naproxen, nimesulide, diclofenac, and ibuprofen-and an anti-epileptic drug-carbamazepine-in water samples we collected ( n = 8) from the Danube. (mdpi.com)
In this study, a three-phase hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) method combined with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was developed for direct determination of four non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and ibuprofen) in sewage sludge. (lu.se)
Average concentrations of 29 +/- 9, 138 +/- 2, 39 +/- 5 and 122 +/- 7 ng/g were determined in dried sludge from Kallby sewage treatment plant (Sweden) for ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and ibuprofen, respectively. (lu.se)

Medications1
These are power anti-inflammatory agents that belong to the same family as medications like Ibuprofen or Naproxen. (drugfree.org)
NSAID2
As an NSAID, naproxen appears to exert its anti-inflammatory action by reducing the production of inflammatory mediators called prostaglandins. (wikipedia.org)
Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and antipyretic properties. (nih.gov)
Nonsteroidal1
Naproxen is a proprionic acid derivative related to the arylacetic acid group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. (nih.gov)
Warnings2
In U.S. markets, naproxen is sold with boxed warnings about the risk of gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding. (wikipedia.org)
Naproxen as Naproxen Tablets, USP is contraindicated for the treatment of peri0operative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (see WARNINGS ). (nih.gov)
Anti-inflammatory2
Naproxen is used to treat a variety of inflammatory conditions and symptoms that are due to excessive inflammation, such as pain and fever (naproxen has fever-reducing, or antipyretic, properties in addition to its anti-inflammatory activity). (wikipedia.org)
Always have some food with naproxen to help prevent stomach upset. (webmd.com)
Metabolites2
Naproxen is extensively metabolized in the liver to 6-0-desmethyl naproxen, and both parent and metabolites do not induce metabolizing enzymes. (nih.gov)
Both naproxen and 6-0-desmethyl naproxen are further metabolized to their respective acylglucuronide conjugated metabolites. (nih.gov)
Suggests2
Additionally, some research suggests a link between taking ibuprofen in pregnancy and problems with fetal development (commonly known as birth defects) even when taken before 20 weeks. (medicalnewstoday.com)
Additionally, some evidence suggests ibuprofen may increase the risk of problems with fetal development. (medicalnewstoday.com)
Stroke1
The drug had roughly 50% of the associated risk of stroke compared with ibuprofen, and was also associated with a reduced number of myocardial infarctions compared with control groups. (wikipedia.org)

Risks3
This means pregnant individuals should be aware of the potential risks of ibuprofen during their first trimester. (medicalnewstoday.com)
In general, using ibuprofen at the lowest effective dose for the shortest period of time will pose the smallest risk, though there is no way to completely eliminate the risks. (medicalnewstoday.com)
