"Do not use any other over-the-counter cold, allergy, or pain medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist!. Many medicines available over the counter contain aspirin or other medicines similar to naproxen (such as ibuprofen or ketoprofen)!. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of this type of medication!. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains aspirin, ibuprofen, or ketoprofen!. Do not drink alcohol while taking naproxen!. Alcohol can increase the risk of stomach bleeding caused by naproxen!. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight!. Naproxen may increase the sensitivity of the skin to sunlight!. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when exposure to the sun is unavoidable!. "Www@Answer-Health@Com
