You just take one every 12 hours so that would be cool if it works. I'm just worried if it doesn't work I'd have to wait 12 hours to take something else. The study (link above) says they are about equal relieving pain, but that Naproxen scores higher for bedtime use so maybe I'll try it that way first and go from there.
My wife says it eats the lining of your stomach. Also Her doctor says she can't have it because it's bad for kidneys or liver or something.
Naproxen Warnings
Naproxen may raise your risk for heart attacks and stroke. Heart and stroke risk is greater if you have a history of or risk factors for heart disease.
Naproxen may cause ulcers and bleeding in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Ulcer and bleeding risk is higher if you are elderly.
Because elderly people are more likely to have side effects, you should take the lowest possible effective dose if you are over age 65.
