Can I take Alcohol and Naprosyn together?

Por qué sucede esto

Naprosyn belongs to a group of medicines called NSAIDs, which work by reducing protective chemicals in the stomach lining. Alcohol also irritates the stomach lining. When used together, they have an 'additive' effect, making it much easier for the stomach wall to become damaged or bleed. Both substances also affect blood flow to the kidneys.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking Naprosyn. If you must drink, keep it to a very small amount and always take your Naprosyn with food to help protect your stomach. Seek medical help immediately if you notice signs of stomach bleeding, such as black, tarry stools or vomiting blood (which may look like coffee grounds).

Stomach ulcers and bleeding

Asma

Do not take this medicine if you have ever had an asthma attack, wheezing, or a rash triggered by aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It can cause a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction.

Embarazo (tercer trimestre)

Do not take naproxen if you are more than 20 weeks pregnant. It can cause serious heart or kidney problems in the unborn baby and lead to complications during delivery.
