NAPROXEN TABLETS

[carlyon bay]

Ive just been taken off Diclofenac 50 mg tabs three times daily in favour of Naproxen 250mg tablets twice a day could any one advise me how soon/time should I feel any benefits from this different anti inflammatory thanks for any replies

Difficult to say without knowing why your Diclofenac was stopped in favour of Naproxen.

Thanks Sqad Ive been having regular stomach aches probably caused by this anti-inflammatory and my GP said there was also some other recent evidence that diclofenac was causing some heart issues (not in my case )and that Naproxen was probably somewhat a safer option if i needed to take anti-inflammatory's as Ive widespread spinal disc degeneration plus i had the now infamous metal on metal THR and had to have a revision hip replacement as i developed ALVAL as a result of these conditions im in constant pain/ache

Thanks, then the Naproxin should certainly work within 24-48hours.
