Relevance: 14.12.2022 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Ask your doctor before using cimetidine together with naproxen. Using these medications together may affect the enteric coating of naproxen, causing the medication to be released too early in the body. This can make naproxen less effective. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

GENERALLY AVOID: The concomitant administration of H2 blockers may increase the dissolution rate of enteric-coated naproxen, causing the drug to be released in the stomach instead of the small intestine.

MANAGEMENT: H2 antagonists should be avoided in patients taking enteric-coated formulations of naproxen.
