Can I take Lansoprazole and Naproxen together?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Lansoprazole increases the pH (reduces the acidity) of the stomach. Because naproxen needs a certain level of acidity to dissolve and be absorbed efficiently, the presence of lansoprazole can slightly alter its absorption profile. This is generally considered a 'beneficial' interaction because the protective effect on the stomach outweighs the minor change in drug absorption.

It is safe and common to take these together. In fact, if you are taking naproxen long-term, your doctor likely prescribed lansoprazole specifically to prevent stomach ulcers. Take them exactly as directed by your healthcare professional. If you notice any unusual stomach pain or black, tarry stools, contact your doctor immediately.

Asthme

Do not take naproxen if you have a history of asthma or wheezing triggered by aspirin or other NSAIDs, as it can cause a life-threatening asthma attack.

Grossesse (troisième trimestre)

Naproxen must not be taken if you are more than 20 weeks pregnant as it can cause serious heart or kidney problems in the unborn baby and reduce amniotic fluid levels.

Ulcères d'estomac ou saignements

Naproxen significantly increases the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding. Lansoprazole is often prescribed alongside it to reduce this risk, so it is vital to take both as directed.

Diarrhée sévère

Le lansoprazole peut augmenter votre risque d'infections intestinales graves. Si vous développez une diarrhée aqueuse sévère ou persistante, ou de la fièvre, contactez immédiatement votre médecin et ne prenez pas de médicament anti-diarrhéique.

Lupus (LES) ou réactions cutanées

Contactez votre médecin si vous développez une éruption cutanée, surtout dans les zones exposées au soleil, car le lansoprazole peut provoquer une réaction cutanée auto-immune rare mais grave.

Alcool

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking lansoprazole. Alcohol increases the amount of acid your stomach produces, which can make your symptoms worse and counteract the effects of the medicine.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking naproxen. Both alcohol and naproxen can irritate the lining of your stomach; combining them significantly increases the risk of stomach ulcers and internal bleeding.

Alimentation (Timing)

Lansoprazole works best if you take it at least 30 minutes before food. Taking it with or after food can make it less effective at reducing stomach acid.

Vous devriez prendre de l'ibuprofène naproxène avec un repas ou juste après un repas ou une collation. Cela aide à protéger la muqueuse de votre estomac et réduit le risque de dyspepsie ou de douleurs d'estomac.

Caféine (Café, Thé, Boissons Énergisantes)

Caffeine can increase stomach acid production and irritate the stomach lining. This may worsen the conditions these medicines are treating (such as acid reflux or stomach sensitivity) and may increase the risk of indigestion.
