Naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), can potentially exacerbate diverticulitis symptoms rather than alleviate them. While it may reduce pain and inflammation, it can also increase the risk of gastrointestinal complications, such as bleeding or perforation, particularly in individuals with existing diverticular disease. Therefore, individuals with diverticulitis are often advised to avoid NSAIDs like naproxen and instead use alternative pain relief methods. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding medication use in the context of diverticulitis.
