A member asked:
Why are my bowel movements so dark and sticky after taking aleve (naproxen)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible bleeding: Aleve (naproxen) can cause bleeding in the stomach that can result in dark or black sticky stools that can resemble tar. Stop the aleve (naproxen) and see a doctor immediately to check if you are having serious bleeding.
