Long-term naproxen use may cause serious stomach burns, warns NHS, urging users to seek medical advice if symptoms arise.
The NHS has warned that long-term use of naproxen, a common painkiller for conditions like arthritis and period pain, may cause a rare but serious burning sensation in the stomach, indicating potential stomach irritation or ulcers.
While effective for reducing inflammation and pain, prolonged use increases gastrointestinal risks.
The health service advises stopping the medication and seeking medical advice if this symptom occurs, and recommends that patients on extended treatment may be prescribed protective drugs to safeguard the stomach lining.
