Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Thanks, Joyce. Are yours coated? I’ve heard some are and some aren’t, but those that are are easier on your stomach. Thanks, Hi I have been taking naproxen now for about 5 yrs. I havent had any side affects from them at all They are a very good pain relief pill and also good for the inflamation. You always have to make sure and eat before taking them cos they can upset your tummy. I take 2 x 500mg a day. Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I buy generic naproxen 220mg otc tablets from costco, it is about half the price of the prescription, and seems to work just as well for me as the prescription. My doctor said I could take up to 1500 mg per day. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
