Isn't naproxen just like Tylenol or ibuprofen? But I must say, 500 mg does sound like quite a high dose, for anything. I hope your cp heals quickly!
Thanks for the well wishes for cp. Actually, I didn't know this until you posted but, it is the same ingredient in Aleve. Aleve is 220 mg and you aren't supposed to take more than 660 mg in a day. She was prescribed 1000 mg daily for the first week and then just 500 mg prior to practice after the first week. She was fine during the resting week at 1000 mg/daily but, not the 500 mg prior to conditioning, stunting, and tumbling.
Youngest cp is 15, has hypermobility syndrome (many gymnasts and cheerleaders have it), and therefore, also prone to mitral valve prolapse and we found out my mom has MVP about a year ago. I found out later cp had taken a Zyrtec that morning, and also, 2 Advil for cramps so, one of those may have reacted with the Naproxen. She can just take it after practice from now on instead of prior to be on the safe side. Moral of the story: Be careful with those NSAID's, I know many athletes that take them often.
