Naprosyn - Cox 2 Enzyme Naprosyn
COX 2 enzyme Naprosyn is prescribed for a number of conditions, where it is used both to treat pain and swelling of the affected areas. Some of the most common conditions that are treated with COX 2 enzyme Naprosyn include headaches, muscle aches, tendonitis, dental pain, arthritis, and gout. The drug works by inhibiting the COX 2 enzyme, which is one of the enzymes in the body that is responsible for the production of chemical messengers that triggers pain and swelling in the body. By blocking this enzyme, the part of the body which has become inflamed or affected is unable to send pain signals to the brain as easily so the brain will reduce the pain and swelling in the affected areas.
Naprosyn side effects generally occur in 1% to 10% of patients taking COX 2 enzyme Naprosyn, and in the majority of cases the effects are mild. Common Naprosyn side effects include gastrointestinal symptoms such as heartburn, constipation, and abdominal pain as well as other effects such as dry mouth and ringing of the ears. Though COX 2 enzyme Naprosyn can be used to treat headaches, there can also be a link in some people between taking Naprosyn and headaches with the drug actually causing headaches as a side effect.
When more serious Naprosyn side effects occur, they can include severe bleeding of the stomach or intestines. Though this bleeding can cause discomfort and may require medical care, it is rarely fatal and can be treated easily successfully.
