An Introduction to Naprosyn Side Effects
As with any medicine, there are possible side effects with
Naprosyn® (
naproxen). However, not everyone who takes the medicine will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate Naprosyn well. When people do develop Naprosyn side effects, they are generally minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
(The side effects discussed below are not a complete list of side effects reported with Naprosyn. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list with you.)
Common Side Effects of Naprosyn
Naprosyn has been studied extensively in clinical trials, with thousands of people worldwide having been evaluated.
In these studies, side effects are always documented and compared to those that occur in a similar group of people not taking the medicine.
This way, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.
Based on these studies, the most common Naprosyn side effects, occurring in more than 3 percent of patients, include:
- Heartburn
- Abdominal pain (or stomach pain)
- Nausea
- Constipation
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Drowsiness
