An Overview of Side Effects With Anaprox

As with any medicine, side effects with Anaprox^® (naproxen sodium) are possible; however, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in many cases, they are minor, meaning they require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.

(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Anaprox. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Anaprox side effects with you.)
