I took Naxdom 500 for a headache and ended up with acidity. Should I stop taking it?

Dear Reader,

Yes, acidity and stomach discomfort can occur with Naxdom 500, so you’re not alone in experiencing these.

Naxdom 500 contains Naproxen, which is a strong NSAID painkiller. These medicines often irritate the stomach lining and can cause:

• Acidity
• Gas or bloating
• Burning sensation
• Stomach pain
• Nausea

This happens more commonly if:

• You took it on an empty stomach
• You already have acidity or gastritis
• You are sensitive to NSAID painkillers (like ibuprofen, diclofenac, etc.)

What you should do now:

• If the discomfort is mild, take the next dose only after a full meal.
• Drink plenty of water and avoid spicy or acidic foods today.
• You may also take your regular antacid (if your doctor allows).

Stop using Naxdom 500 and talk to your doctor if:

• The acidity becomes severe
• The stomach pain keeps coming back every time you take it
• You have a history of ulcers, GERD, or frequent acidity
• You feel nauseous or vomit after taking it

If your headaches are not migraines, your doctor may suggest paracetamol alone, as it is usually gentler and easier on the stomach.

 Stomach acidity and discomfort may be caused by other medications and ongoing illness. Plz discuss with your doctor and follow their advice.

Wishing you good health.
