I ve been taking Naproxen 375mg for many years.(Chronic back pain... nerve trauma in my lower back) I have a great respect for my body and the drug so I always take it with food and only take it when I feel I can t control my pain (Usually when I m out and can t modify what I m doing) I m only suppose to take it twice a day but some days I take it every 6 to 8 hours. How much harm am I doing?
HelloChronic ingestion of an NSAID like Naproxen can cause gastritis, peptic ulcer, and it can do damage to both your liver and your kidneys, so you need upper endoscopy and blood work to check for all that. Neurontin, Lyrics, and, if necessary, opiates like oxycodone may be more appropriate medications for your pain, so you need to ask your doctor about that.
