Warnings

Naproxen sodium: Risk of Serious Cardiovascular and Gastrointestinal Adverse Events: As with all NSAIDs, naproxen sodium may increase the risk of serious cardiovascular (CV) thrombotic events, such as myocardial infarction and stroke, which can be fatal and may lead to hospitalization or death. The risk may occur early in treatment and may increase with dose and duration of use. Patients with pre-existing CV disease or risk factors for CV disease may be at greater risk (see Precautions). NSAIDs, including naproxen sodium, cause an increased risk of serious GI adverse events (e.g., bleeding, ulceration, perforation) which can be life-threatening. These events may occur at any time during NSAID therapy and even without warning symptoms. Elderly patients and those with known history of peptic ulcer disease and/or GI bleeding have a greater risk for those serious GI events (see Precautions).
