" Naproxen (Naprosyn) is a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) so similar to motrin, advil, ibuprofen and if taken on a full stomach is fine to take with your hep c.
As mmc613 pointed out rightly so it can be tough on the stomach so if you notice any burning in the epigastric area hold off. "

" My doc said it was fine to take...as I have RA too. I have to limit myself to only 6 a day though. So if it works for you, then I would think it is okay in moderation. Dr. Orange did not say you can't take it...so go for it as needed. You don't get a medal for suffering any more then you need too! "
