Is naproxen safe to take for a month 500mg twice daily?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Opinions differ, I think taking this antiinflammatory for a month is a long time. The reaction, especially in the stomach varies from person to person. If you are experiencing gastric discomfort I would try to wean yourslef off the drug as quickly as possible. Please fgo and ask your doctor!

In addition to stomach upset potential complications include heartburn, peptic ulcer and kidney effects. Less common is liver injury. Elevated blood pressure& fluid retention can occur more often especially in older people. Most healthy people tolerate NSAIDs well. You must weigh risks vs benefits. I think most physicians discourage longterm use of NSAIDs.
