Question 1

i was wondering are aspirin or aleve (naproxen) bad for your liver?

Accepted Answer

Rarely: Aleve (naproxen) is more likely to cause liver inflammation but this is a relatively uncommon side effect.

Question 2

i have been having bad abdomen pain and fevers. went to er, all tests and ultrasound was normal. i used to take too much aleve (naproxen) on purpose. help?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal pain: At this point, I recommend that you see a gastroenterologist for EGD and proper guidance and treatment.

Question 3

what will happen to my body, including my stomach and liver if i take one aleve only for the day?

Accepted Answer

: If you do not have kidney disease, stomach ulcers, gastritis, or bad reflux, &amp; if you eat something prior to taking Aleve, &amp; drink plenty of water during the day, it should be quite safe to take one Aleve per day.  It works very well for many patients with arthritis or certain other types of pain &amp; has been around for many years.

Question 4

is it possible that aleve (naproxen) increase liver enzymes?

Accepted Answer

Famously: Naproxen is well-known to do this, and about 1 in 25 people who start taking it on a regular basis get elevated liver enzymes. Perhaps it's time to look at taking a different nsaid; if the liver enzymes remain high, it would be wise to look for a different dangerous-if-untreated cause of the elevated 'zymes.

Question 5

is there proof that aleve (naproxen) or other naisd's can cause liver damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Aleve (naproxen) and other nsaids can cause liver toxicity. Fortunately, the liver usually heals itself once the NSAID is stopped.

Question 6

taking 50mg-zoloft, 50mg-vyvanse, 40mg-protonix, donnatal-4 daily, viokase16-4 daily, 5000-vit.d3, aleve-440mg 4 pain.could meds damage liver?were elevated.

Accepted Answer

Possibly: See your doctor to adjust your regimen as some can cause liver enzymes elevations.

Question 7

ihave very high count mitochondrial antibodies and have been diagnosed with fatty liver disease.  is it ok to take aleve (naproxen) for  muscle pain i'm having?

Accepted Answer

Fatty liver disease: You should not take anything over the counter without approval from your liver disease doctor.

Most likely the answer will be "It's OK" but don't take chances.

Question 8

i am obese had baristruc surgery. just found out i have a slightly large heart, and ^ liver enzymes. i hurt my knee can i take an aleve (naproxen) w/said issues?

Accepted Answer

Call your surgeon: This is a question you should ask of your bariatric surgeon, but I am pretty sure you are not supposed to take any nsaids following weight loss surgery.  It depends on what sort of surgery you had though, so check in with your doctor.  In the meantime, rest and use ice on  your knee.  Consider getting some acupuncture for it.

Question 9

is taking naproxen 500 2 x plus 10/325 x 5 goingto cause liver problems? thank you.

Accepted Answer

Not likely: No drug interactions between Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) and naproxen. This drug may rarely cause serious (possibly fatal) liver disease. Nausea, vomiting, constipation, drowsiness lightheadedness and dizziness are common side effects.
Rec.: for more information discuss with your prescribing physician.

Question 10

would taking naproxen pills for a long time damage the liver?

Accepted Answer

Rarely: anyone taking long term NSAIDs such naproxen needs to have periodic blood tests to screen for anemia, liver or kidney issues related to these meds.
