What would happen if your dog ate 15 naproxen pills?
Our dog recently ate 6 Naproxen @ 500mg dosage on accident. She started throwing up shortly after eating them and had to be rushed to the vet ER. The vet there told us that 1500-1600 mg is fatal in a dog. Our dog ate between 2500 to 3000 mg. She has been on an IV catheter for 3 days and has had to have a charcoal induced vomiting round and many meds for her stomach not to form ulcers. Most common results of this are gastric ulcers and kidney failure. It is extremely expensive treatment and a very serious illness.
Can you get 750 mg of naproxen in a prescription?
You do not need a prescription to purchase naproxen. Do you live in the United States? If so, you can buy it over the counter as Aleve. They are small, blue pills.
Can you take naproxen with theraflu?
No, do not take these together. Check the ingredients - you will see that TheraFlu contains a pain and fever reducer (acetaminaphen). You will also see that naproxen is listed as a pain and fever reducer. You do not want to take two of the same kinds of medicines together.
Take one or the other - I would recommend taking the cold medicine first. Then wait at least 6 hours before you take the naproxen, then another 6 hours before you take the Theraflu again. My personal advice is to save the naproxen until you get over your cold, because it is a 12 hour product and is really going to interfere with the number of times you can take the cold medicine.
Can you take Aleve and buckley's cold and sinus together?
No, I took two advils cold and sinus and a spoon of Buckley's decongestion, its double the dose of what you should need, It made me dehydrated, and feeling very weird, not a good idea.
Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can help reduce fever as it has antipyretic properties. It works by inhibiting enzymes involved in inflammation and pain, which can also help lower elevated body temperature. However, for fever management, other medications like acetaminophen may be preferred due to their specific formulation for this purpose. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Could Aleve cause bleeding the same as aspirin?
No. Aleve does have an anti-platelet effect but it's shorter in duration than that provided by aspirin. Further, it will interfere with the anti-platelet effect of aspirin if taken in parallel with aspirin.
Will naproxen help to rest or to sleep?
Naproxen is used to ease pain - gout pain for me. As it does lessen or mask the pain, it allows one to work, rest or sleep more easily. It should not be taken frequently or more than 2 pills a day for 2-3 days only per my doctor but I highly recommend your speaking with your doctor before using this dangerous pain reliever.

Is 12000 Mg of naproxen sodium a lethal dose?
It all depends on the individuals body weight, the rate of metabolism (depends on intake of caffeine), and the time period in which the dosage was taken. If taken all at once by say an 80 pound teenage girl the likelihood of an over dosage is severely high.
Can taking Aleve cause leg cramps?
Yes, it causes leg cramps for me. It does wonders for my arthritis and other aches and pains. But, after a few days, I will wake up in the middle of the night with leg cramps, usually on the inside of my thighs - even sometimes in both legs at the same time.
I try to take potassium. This seems to help.
