I've found that the generic naproxyn can be useless,
I had some Berkley and Jensen that was totally
useless. The name brand Aleve works much better for
me.

Naproxyn is stomach corrosive. Can give you wicked
bleeding ulcers if you take them on empty stomach.
Best to take them with food, with meals.

When I wound up back in the hospital due to what I thought was a heart problem a year after I had a heart attack, it turned out that I was very anemic and had a low red blood cell count. Doctors gave me several blood transfusions and squirted enough iron in me to make a box of nails. They were trying to figure out where the blood was going. A fecal occult blood test was done to determine if I was losing blood due to intestinal bleeding, it was negative. I told the doctors I was too old to have a period but they still couldn't figure out where the blood was going. A month later I had a camera shoved down my throat and up my tailpipe, hopefully in that order. It turns out that I had bleeding ulcers in my stomach. I was taking large amounts of naproxen sodium and that's what was responsible. My stomach has healed and I never take more than two OTC naproxen sodium tablets a day and it's enough to combat the swelling in my joints without harming me. I'm going to try two tablets every two days or one tablet a day to see if that's enough to keep me moving but I must have something for the inflammation. ¯\(°_o)/¯
