A member asked:
A dr prescribe me magnesium oxide 2years ago and i didn't have headaches the last two years. another dr prescribe naproxen now. which is better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: These are two different medications. Naproxen is not safe if taken regularly. Use tylenol (acetaminophen) sometimes if you have headache. Mag oxide is not for headache actually- make sure you are not getting too much mag oxide and your magnesium levels in blood are ok.
