Research Notes on Naproxen and Pregnancy
While naproxen use during pregnancy has not been well studied in humans, animal studies have shown a potential for health issues in the fetus. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has listed naproxen as a category C medication. If you should become pregnant while undergoing treatment with naproxen, consult with your physician right away. He or she will weigh the benefits to your condition against any possible risks to your baby to determine whether you should continue to take the medication.1
Fast Facts:
