Yes: There's no problem taking those while on Naproxen. NSAIDs like Naproxen relieve pain & inflammation but can cause life-threatening side effects like GI bleeding when taken long-term & can accelerate the disease process of osteoarthritis. Herbs like Boswellia & Turmeric reduce inflammation as well as NSAIDs do with less risk.They can be combined with Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM & hyaluronic acid.
