Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Will Intake Of Marijuana Affect The Effects Of Naproxin?
Will marijuana affect naproxin? Such as make it work less? My wife has extreme tooth pain (wisdom teeth) and marijuana alone usually helps but she has gotten naproxin from the doctor and we d rather not disable the naproxin or have any adverse affects
I can understand your concerns. Although marijuana does not reduce the anti-inflammatory (pain relieving) effects of naproxen however, marijuana when taken along with naproxen can increase the risk of liver damage. Your wife must inform her doctor if she gets fever, right upper abdominal pain, yellowish discoloration of the skin or eyes as these may be signs and symptoms of liver damage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
