Do you (not just Vortex; the general "you") think that more people ignore the limits given on the bottle of an OTC drug, or adhere to them? Because I know a ton of people who REFUSE to ever take more of any OTC drug than the bottle says, even when I point out that when the same drug is prescribed, the dose is 2x that amount. Like ibuprofen.
I will ask if it's safe if the "recommended" dose isn't doing the trick. For example, my doctor was prescribing 600Mg of naprosen for my cramps. 30 pills was a $12 co pay. However, my doctor suggested that I buy Aleve, which comes in 250mg tablets. Taking three aleve is cheaper than $12 prescription pills, and my doctor gave me the okay for that dose, since he knows that I only take it three days a month.
Random pronunciation question - do y'all pronounce naproxen as na-PROX-en or NAP-per-sen? The first time I ever heard it was as the 2nd way, but I suspect that might have been just my oh-so-southern roommate.
I think that it's two different generic names? naproxen and naprosen? Teppy?
na-PROX-en
I say it that way because of the full name of the drug, which is Naproxen sodium
naproxen and naprosen?
It's "Naprosyn," with a "y," not an "e," which is the brand name of naproxen.
I think Naproxen is the generic and Naprosen is the brand name?

I chose my dress for the RITA ceremony this year. Since I have no official function as either a nominee or presenter, I decided to go the cocktail dress route. Dark purple jersey with a beaded waist detail.
I fear I may look like a giant eggplant, but that can't be helped. At least I have killer shoes to go with.
Advil doesn't do shit for my pain, but two extra strength tylenol, and I'm good to go.
In this, Vortex and I are complete opposites. As far as I'm concerned, Tylenol is just a cruel joke.
Barb, the dress sounds lovely! Eggplant shmeggplant.
