Uses for Naprelan Dose Card
Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps relieve symptoms of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile arthritis. It works by reducing inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain. Naproxen also helps with symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis, which is a type of arthritis that affects the spine. However, this medicine does not cure arthritis and will only help you as long as you keep taking it.
This medicine may also be used to treat mild to moderate pain, including acute gout and other painful conditions like bursitis, tendinitis, or menstrual cramps.
You can get this medicine only with your doctor's prescription.

Precautions while using Naprelan Dose Card
It is very important for your doctor to check your progress at regular visits. This will help your doctor see if the medicine is working properly and decide if you should keep taking it. Blood and urine tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
This medicine may increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. This risk is higher in people who already have heart disease or in those who take this medicine for a longer time.
This medicine may cause bleeding in your stomach or intestines. This can happen without warning signs. You are at greater risk if you have had a stomach ulcer in the past, if you smoke or drink alcohol regularly, if you are over 60 years old, are in poor health, or are using certain other medicines (for example, steroid medicine or blood thinners).
Check with your doctor right away if you have pain or tenderness in the upper stomach, pale stools, dark urine, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or yellowing of your eyes or skin. These could be signs of a serious liver problem.
Serious skin reactions, such as exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), can occur while using this medicine. Check with your doctor immediately if you have black, tarry stools, blistering, peeling, or loosening of the skin, chest pain, chills, cough, diarrhea, fever, itching, joint or muscle pain, painful or difficult urination, red irritated eyes, red skin lesions, sore throat, sores, ulcers, or white spots in the mouth or on the lips, swollen glands, unusual bleeding or bruising, or unusual tiredness or weakness.
Some warning signs of serious side effects during treatment with this medicine may include swelling of the face, fingers, feet, or lower legs, severe stomach pain, black, tarry stools, or vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, unusual weight gain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, decreased urination, unusual bleeding or bruising, or skin rash. Serious heart problems could also occur, including chest pain or tightness, fast or irregular heartbeat, unusual flushing or warmth of the skin, weakness, or slurred speech. Check with your doctor right away if you notice any of these warning signs.
Check with your doctor immediately if you have bloody urine, a decrease in how often or how much you urinate, high blood pressure, increased thirst, loss of appetite, lower back or side pain, nausea, swelling of the face, fingers, or lower legs, trouble breathing, unusual tiredness or weakness, vomiting, or weight gain. These could be signs of a serious kidney problem.
Hyperkalemia (high potassium in the blood) may occur while you are using this medicine. Check with your doctor right away if you have stomach pain, confusion, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, nausea or vomiting, nervousness, numbness or tingling in your hands, feet, or lips, or weakness or heaviness in your legs.
This medicine may also cause a serious allergic reaction called anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening and requires medical attention. Although this is rare, it may happen more often in patients who are allergic to aspirin or any of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and needs immediate medical help. Tell your doctor right away if you have a rash, itching, hoarseness, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, or any swelling of your hands, face, or mouth after using this medicine.
Using this medicine in the later part of a pregnancy can harm your unborn baby. If you think you might be pregnant while using this medicine, tell your doctor right away.
This medicine may delay ovulation for women and may affect their ability to have children. If you plan to have children, talk with your doctor before using this medicine.
Check with your doctor immediately if you experience blurred vision, difficulty reading, or any other change in vision during or after your treatment. Your doctor may want you to see an ophthalmologist (eye doctor).
Before having any surgery or medical tests, tell your doctor that you are taking this medicine. You may need to stop taking it for a while or switch to a different nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug before your procedure.
This medicine may cause some people to feel dizzy, lightheaded, drowsy, or less alert than usual. Even if taken at bedtime, it may cause some people to feel drowsy or less alert in the morning. Make sure you know how this medicine affects you before driving, using machines, or doing anything that could be dangerous if you are not alert.

Before using Naprelan Dose Card
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medication must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this drug, the following should be considered:
Allergies
Inform your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also inform your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Pediatric
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of naproxen controlled-release tablets in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of naproxen delayed release tablets, suspension, and tablets in children younger than 2 years of age. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Geriatric
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific issues that would limit the usefulness of naproxen in the elderly. Nevertheless, elderly patients may be more sensitive to the effects of naproxen than younger adults, and are more likely to have age-related kidney or stomach issues, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving naproxen.
Breast Feeding
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant chance when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential chances before using this medicine while breastfeeding.
