NSAIDs, including naproxen, should be used with caution in patients with hypertension. Naproxen should be used with caution in patients with fluid retention, hypertension, or heart failure. Gastrointestinal Effects-Risk of Ulceration, Bleeding, and Perforation NSAIDs, including naproxen, can cause serious gastrointestinal GI adverse events including inflammation, bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach, small intestine, or large intestine, which can be fatal.

These serious adverse events can occur at any time, with or without warning symptoms, in patients treated with NSAIDs. These trends continue with longer duration of use, increasing the likelihood of developing a serious GI event at some time during the course of therapy. However, even short-term therapy is not without risk.

The utility of periodic laboratory monitoring has not been demonstrated, nor has it been adequately assessed. NSAIDs should be prescribed with extreme caution in those with a prior history of ulcer disease or gastrointestinal bleeding. Other factors that increase the risk for GI bleeding in patients treated with NSAIDs include concomitant use of oral corticosteroids or anticoagulants, longer duration of NSAID therapy, smoking, use of alcohol, older age, and poor general health status.

Most spontaneous reports of fatal GI events are in elderly or debilitated patients and therefore, special care should be taken in treating this population. To minimize the potential risk for an adverse GI event in patients treated with an NSAID, the lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest possible duration. Patients and physicians should remain alert for signs and symptoms of GI ulceration and bleeding during NSAID therapy and promptly initiate additional evaluation and treatment if a serious GI adverse event is suspected.

Epidemiological studies, both of the case-control and cohort design, have demonstrated an association between use of psychotropic drugs that interfere with serotonin reuptake and the occurrence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Although these studies focused on upper gastrointestinal bleeding, there is reason to believe that bleeding at other sites may be similarly potentiated. Renal toxicity has also been seen in patients in whom renal prostaglandins have a compensatory role in the maintenance of renal perfusion.

In these patients, administration of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugmay cause a dose-dependent reduction in prostaglandinformation and, secondarily, in renal blood flow, which may precipitate overt renal decompensation. Patients at greatest risk of this reaction are those with impaired renal function, hypovolemia, heart failure, liver dysfunction, salt depletion, those taking diuretics and ACE inhibitors, and the elderly. Advanced Renal Disease No information is available from controlled clinical studies regarding the use of naproxen in patients with advanced renal disease.

Therefore, treatment with naproxen is not recommended in these patients with advanced renal disease. If naproxen therapy must be initiated, close monitoring of the patient's renal function is advisable.

Naproxen should not be given to patients with the aspirin triad. Emergency help should be sought in cases where an anaphylactoid reaction occurs. Anaphylactoid reactions, like anaphylaxis, may have a fatal outcome. These serious events may occur without warning.

Patients should be informed about the signs and symptoms of serious skin manifestations and use of the drug should be discontinued at the first appearance of skin rash or any other sign of hypersensitivity. Pregnancy In late pregnancy, as with other NSAIDs, naproxen should be avoided because it may cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. Naproxen cannot be expected to substitute for corticosteroids or to treat corticosteroidinsufficiency. Abrupt discontinuation of corticosteroids may lead to disease exacerbation.

Patients on prolonged corticosteroid therapy should have their therapy tapered slowly if a decision is made to discontinue corticosteroids and the patient should be observed closely for any evidence of adverse effects, including adrenal insufficiency and exacerbation of symptoms of arthritis. Patients with initial hemoglobinvalues of 10 g or less who are to receive long-term therapy should have hemoglobin values determined periodically.

The pharmacological activity of naproxen in reducing fever and inflammation may diminish the utility of these diagnostic signs in detecting complications of presumed noninfectious, noninflammatory painful conditions.

Because of adverse eye findings in animal studies with drugs of this class, it is recommended that ophthalmic studies be carried out if any change or disturbance in vision occurs. Hepatic abnormalities may be the result of hypersensitivity rather than direct toxicity. These laboratory abnormalities may progress, may remain essentially unchanged, or may be transient with continued therapy. In addition, rare cases of severe hepatic reactions, including jaundice and fatal fulminant hepatitis, liver necrosis and hepatic failure, some of them with fatal outcomes have been reported.

If clinical signs and symptoms consistent with liver diseasedevelop, or if systemic manifestations occur eg, eosinophilia, rash, etc.

Chronic alcoholic liver disease and probably other diseases with decreased or abnormal plasma proteins albumin reduce the total plasma concentration of naproxen, but the plasma concentration of unbound naproxen is increased.

Caution is advised when high doses are required and some adjustment of dosage may be required in these patients. It is prudent to use the lowest effective dose. Caution should be exercised by patients whose activities require alertness if they experience drowsiness, dizziness, vertigo or depression during therapy with naproxen. Laboratory Tests Because serious GI tract ulcerations and bleeding can occur without warning symptoms, physicians should monitor for signs or symptoms of GI bleeding.

If clinical signs and symptoms consistent with liver or renal disease develop, systemic manifestations occur eg, eosinophilia, rash, etc. Antacids and Sucralfate Concomitant administration of some antacids magnesium oxide or aluminum hydroxide and sucralfate can delay the absorption of naproxen. The clinical significance of this interaction is not known; however, as with other NSAIDs, concomitant administration of naproxen and naproxen sodium and aspirin is not generally recommended because of the potential of increased adverse effects.

Cholestyramine As with other NSAIDs, concomitant administration of cholestyramine can delay the absorption of naproxen. This response has been attributed to inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis. Renal Effects , as well as to assure diuretic efficacy. Lithium NSAIDs have produced an elevation of plasma lithium levels and a reduction in renal lithium clearance.

Thus, when NSAIDs and lithium are administered concurrently, subjects should be observed carefully for signs of lithium toxicity. Methotrexate NSAIDs have been reported to competitively inhibit methotrexate accumulation in rabbit kidney slices.

Naproxen, naproxen sodium and other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs have been reported to reduce the tubular secretion of methotrexate in an animal model. This may indicate that they could enhance the toxicity of methotrexate.

Warfarin The effects of warfarin and NSAIDs on GI bleeding are synergistic, such that users of both drugs together have a risk of serious GI bleeding higher than users of either drug alone. No significant interactions have been observed in clinical studies with naproxen and coumarin-type anticoagulants. However, caution is advised since interactions have been seen with other nonsteroidal agents of this class.

The free fraction of warfarin may increase substantially in some subjects and naproxen interferes with platelet function. Other Information Concerning Drug Interactions Naproxen is highly bound to plasma albumin; it thus has a theoretical potential for interaction with other albumin-bound drugs such as coumarin-type anticoagulants, sulphonylureas, hydantoins, other NSAIDs, and aspirin.

Patients simultaneously receiving naproxen and a hydantoin, sulphonamide or sulphonylurea should be observed for adjustment of dose if required.

Naproxen and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can reduce the antihypertensive effect of propranolol and other beta-blockers. Probenecid given concurrently increases naproxen anion plasma levels and extends its plasma half-life significantly.

This effect should be kept in mind when bleeding times are determined. Since colistimethate sodium is eliminated by the kidney, coadministration with other potentially nephrotoxic drugs, including nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs NSAIDs , may theoretically increase serum concentrations of either drug.

Moderate Serum creatinine ,potassium concentrations, and cyclosporine concentrations should be closely monitored when systemic cyclosporine is given with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs NSAIDs. The effects of NSAIDs on the production of renal prostaglandins may cause changes in the elimination of cyclosporine.

Potentiation of renal dysfunction may especially occur in a dehydrated patient. Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of cyclosporine toxicity and infection, as NSAIDs may mask fever, pain, or swelling.

Increased tear production was not seen in patients receiving ophthalmic NSAIDs or using punctual plugs concurrently with cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion.

Major The main toxic effect of cytarabine, ARA-C is bone marrow suppression with leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and anemia. Due to the thrombocytopenic effects of cytarabine, an additive risk of bleeding may be seen in patients receiving concomitant NSAIDs.

Dipyridamole can block membrane transport of cytarabine in tumor cells, therefore decreasing its antineoplastic activity. Moderate Use dabrafenib and naproxen together with caution; naproxen exposure may be decreased. Use an alternate agent in place of naproxen if possible. If concomitant use with cannot be avoided, monitor patients for loss of naproxen efficacy. Due to the thrombocytopenic effects of dacarbazine, an additive risk of bleeding may be seen in patients receiving concomitant anticoagulants, NSAIDs, platelet inhibitors, including aspirin, ASA, strontium chloride, and thrombolytic agents.

Major An increased risk of bleeding may occur when NSAIDs are used with agents that cause clinically significant thrombocytopenia, such as myelosuppressive antineoplastic agents. Major Due to the thrombocytopenic and possible platelet inhibiting effects of dasatinib, an additive risk of bleeding may be seen in patients receiving concomitant anticoagulants, NSAIDs, platelet inhibitors including aspirin , strontium chloride, and thrombolytic agents.

Caution should be exercised if patients are required to take medications that inhibit platelet function or anticoagulants concomitantly with dasatinib. Major An increased risk of bleeding may occur when NSAIDs are used with agents that cause clinically significant thrombocytopenia. Patients should be monitored closely for bleeding during concurrent use. Daunorubicin Liposomal; Cytarabine Liposomal: Major Due to the thrombocytopenic effects of daunorubicin, an additive risk of bleeding may be seen in patients receiving concomitant anticoagulants, NSAIDs, platelet inhibitors, including aspirin, strontium chloride, and thrombolytic agents.

Major Due to the thrombocytopenic effects of decitabine, an additive risk of bleeding may be seen in patients receiving concomitant anticoagulants, NSAIDs, platelet inhibitors including aspirin , strontium chloride, and thrombolytic agents.

Moderate Because gastric ulceration and GI bleeding have been reported in patients taking deferasirox, use caution when coadministering with other drugs known to increase the risk of peptic ulcers or gastric hemorrhage including NSAIDs.

In addition, coadministration of deferasirox with other potentially nephrotoxic drugs, including NSAIDs, may increase the acute renal failure. Major Additive hyponatremic effects may be seen in patients treated with desmopressin and drugs associated with hyponatremia including NSAIDs. Use combination with caution, and monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hyponatremia. A woman who took both desmopressin and ibuprofen was found in a comatose state. The woman had previously received desmopressin without the development of clinical symptoms of hyponatremia Desvenlafaxine: Moderate Platelet aggregation may be impaired by desvenlafaxine due to platelet serotonin depletion, possibly increasing the risk of a bleeding complication e.

Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of bleeding while taking desvenlafaxine with NSAIDs. Additionally, concomitant administration of naproxen and diflunisal significantly decreased the urinary excretion of naproxen and its glucuronide metabolite; naproxen and diflunisal plasma concentrations were unaffected. Moderate Concomitant use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs NSAIDs with digoxin may result in increased serum concentrations of digoxin. NSAIDs may cause a significant deterioration in renal function.

A decline in glomerular filtration or tubular secretion may impair the excretion of digoxin. Monitor patients during concomitant treatment for possible digoxin toxicity and reduce digoxin dose as necessary.

The manufacturer of clopidogrel advises that caution be used when used in combination with NSAIDs as an increase in occult GI blood loss occurred when clopidogrel was used concomitantly with naproxen Docetaxel: Major Due to the thrombocytopenic effects of docetaxel, an additive risk of bleeding may be seen in patients receiving concomitant anticoagulants, NSAIDs, platelet inhibitors including aspirin , strontium chloride, and thrombolytic agents. Major Due to the thrombocytopenic effects of doxorubicin, an additive risk of bleeding may be seen in patients receiving concomitant anticoagulants, NSAIDs, platelet inhibitors, including aspirin, strontium chloride, and thrombolytic agents.

Minor Drospirenone has antimineralocorticoid effects; the progestin may increase serum potassium. Other drugs that may have additive effects on serum potassium with drospirenone include chronic treatment with NSAIDs, and monitoring of serum potassium in the 1st month of concurrent therapy is recommended. Drospirenone; Ethinyl Estradiol; Levomefolate: Moderate Caution should be used when drotrecogin alfa is used with any other drugs that affect hemostasis, including NSAIDs.

These patients are at increased risk of bleeding during drotrecogin alfa therapy. Moderate Platelet aggregation may be impaired by duloxetine due to platelet serotonin depletion, possibly increasing the risk of a bleeding complication e. Moderate Eltrombopag is a UDP-glucuronyltransferase inhibitor. The significance or effect of this interaction is not known; however, elevated concentrations of the NSAID are possible.

Emtricitabine; Rilpivirine; Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: Emtricitabine; Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: Concurrent administration may increase the serum concentrations of entecavir and adverse events. Major Due to the thrombocytopenic effects of epirubicin, an additive risk of bleeding may be seen in patients receiving concomitant anticoagulants, NSAIDs, platelet inhibitors, including aspirin, strontium chloride, and thrombolytic agents. Major Monitor serum potassium and serum creatinine concentrations within 3 to 7 days of initiating coadministration of eplerenone and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs NSAIDs , and monitor blood pressure.

The concomitant use of other potassium-sparing antihypertensives with NSAIDs has been shown to reduce the antihypertensive effect in some patients and result in severe hyperkalemia in patients with impaired renal function. Patients who develop hyperkalemia may continue eplerenone with proper dose adjustment; eplerenone dose reduction decreases potassium concentrations. Moderate NSAIDs may decrease the effect of antihypertensive agents through various mechanisms, including renal and peripheral vasoactive pathways.

The manufacturer of clopidogrel advises that caution be used when used in combination with NSAIDs as an increase in occult GI blood loss occurred when clopidogrel was used concomitantly with naproxen Eribulin: Moderate Use caution if erlotinib is administered with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs NSAIDs , as these patients may have an increased risk of gastrointestinal GI perforation.

Gastrointestinal perforation, including fatal cases, has been reported in 0. Thus, naproxen may displace other highly protein bound drugs from albumin or vice versa. If naproxen is used concurrently with sulfonamides, monitor patients for toxicity from either drug. Chronic alcoholism is often associated with hypoprothrombinemia and this condition increases the risk of bleeding. The effects of ethanol may also be substrate-dependent, since in vitro data have shown varying inhibitory effects on 2C9 substrates.

The manufacturer of diclofenac; misoprostol recommends that the total daily dose of diclofenac not exceed mg in patients receiving a CYP2C9 inhibitor. Patients should be warned regarding the potential for increased risk of GI bleeding if alcohol-containing beverages are taken concurrently with NSAIDs.

If naproxen is used concurrently with hydantoins, monitor patients for toxicity from either drug. Concomitant use of fenofibric acid with CYP2C9 substrates, such as naproxen, has not been formally studied. Fenofibric acid may theoretically increase plasma concentrations of CYP2C9 substrates and could lead to toxicity for drugs that have a narrow therapeutic range. Monitor the therapeutic effect of naproxen during coadministration with fenofibric acid.

Flavocoxid, Flavocoxid; Citrated Zinc Bisglycinate: Additive pharmacodynamic effects, including a potential for additive adverse cardiac and GI effects, may be seen if flavocoxid is used with NSAIDs. Major Due to the thrombocytopenic effects of floxuridine, an additive risk of bleeding may be seen in patients receiving concomitant anticoagulants, NSAIDs, platelet inhibitors, including aspirin, strontium chloride, and thrombolytic agents.

Moderate An increased risk of bleeding may occur when NSAIDs, such as naproxen, are used with agents that cause clinically significant thrombocytopenia, such as myelosuppressive antineoplastic agents. Major Due to the thrombocytopenic effects of fluorouracil, 5-FU, an additive risk of bleeding may be seen in patients receiving concomitant anticoagulants, NSAIDs, platelet inhibitors, including aspirin, strontium chloride, and thrombolytic agents.

Folic Acid, Vitamin B9: Moderate Administering nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs NSAIDs concurrently with marijuana may limit some of marijuana's pharmacologic activities. Certain actions of marijuana require prostaglandin-mediated processes to occur; NSAIDs may interfere with these processes thereby decreasing marijuana's effect.

Coadministration of indomethacin with marijuana has been shown to significantly decrease euphoria, tachycardia, and the intraocular pressure lowering activity of marijuana. Minor The risk of renal toxicity may be increased if foscarnet is used in conjuction with other nephrotoxic agents, such as nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs NSAIDs.

Moderate Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs may increase the risk for nephrotoxicity when given to patients receiving a contrast agents. Gallium Ga 68 Dotatate: Minor Concurrent use of nephrotoxic agents, such as NSAIDs, with ganciclovir should be done cautiously to avoid additive nephrotoxicity.

Prescription Drugs & Side Effects : About Naproxen

OTC Pain Relief: Understanding NSAIDs

The effects of NSAIDs on the production of renal prostaglandins may cause changes in the elimination of cyclosporine. Because of the extremely high binding of teniposide to plasma proteins, these small decreases in binding could cause substantial increases in plasma free drug concentrations that could result in potentiation of teniposide toxicity, including bone marrow suppression. NSAIDS have been associated with an inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, which may result in reduced renal blood flow leading to renal insufficiency and increases in blood pressure that are often accompanied by peripheral edema and weight gain. Cross reactivity has been reported. Moderate NSAIDs should be used with sodium in patients receiving immunosuppressives as they may mask fever, pain, naproxen sodium 500mg an anti inflammatory, swelling and other signs and symptoms of an infection. If stomach upset occurs, consult your doctor. Major Altretamine causes mild to moderate dose-related myelosuppression. Caution is required if administered to patients inflammatory from or with a previous history of, bronchial asthma or allergic disease since NSAIDs have been reported to precipitate bronchospasm in such patients.

Is Naproxen A Good Anti Inflammatory?

What Is Naproxen 500 mg Used for?

To minimize the potential risk for an adverse Gl naproxen in 500mg treated with an NSAID, naproxen sodium 500mg an anti inflammatory, the lowest sodium dose should be used for the shortest possible duration. In patients who are elderly, naproxen sodium 500mg an anti inflammatory, volume-depleted including those on diuretic therapyor with compromised renal function who are being treated with NSAIDs, coadministration of angiotensin II receptor antagonists may result in further deterioration of renal function, including acute renal failure. Major In general, NSAID therapy can decrease the clearance of methotrexate, resulting in elevated and prolonged serum methotrexate levels. It may interfere with ovulation, causing temporary infertility. Patients may experience decreased analgesic or anti-inflammatory effects colchicine order uk these sodiums are coadministered. The mechanisms underlying these gastric damage events include both direct toxic effects of the NSAIDs on the epithelial cells, and others inflammatory to the prostaglandin synthesis inhibition, such as the reduction of mucus and bicarbonate secretion [ 5 ] and the increased neutrophil adherence and activation [ 6 ]. In a pooled analysis of placebo-controlled trials, naproxen sodium 500mg an anti inflammatory, bleeding was more frequently reported in patients receiving topiramate 4. Monitor patients during concomitant treatment for possible digoxin toxicity and naproxen digoxin anti as necessary. If naproxen anti must be initiated, close monitoring of the patient's renal function is advisable. If you are 500mg this drug "as needed" not on a regular scheduleremember that pain medications work inflammatory if they are used as the first signs of pain occur.
