Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug(NSAID).All drugs of this family have similar side effects.Telling HCM the side effects you experienced would have help us to tell you a substitute to your drug.However most of these drugs are known for their digestive side effects like NSAID-induced gastritis.This side effect may be limited with the use of COX 2 inhibitors and other measures like taking drug with meal.
I will suggest you write back telling us the side effects you experienced if the above information can not help you
Best regards
