Not trying to lay it in too thick, but I must say that Dave is a stellar science communicator and educator. I’m a professional scientist, and for relaxation I watch Professor Dave Explains.
Two months of suffering with shoulder pain. I tried exercise with my shoulder and Ibuprofen since my pain began nothing seem to work. Today is the first time I took Naproxen this morning and the pain is gone since I took it. I’m just glad I can have some relief. If my shoulder doesn’t get better by this week I’ll be heading to get some scans done on my shoulder.
team naproxen here too. it seems to last much longer than ibuprofen or acetaminophen, which if you have significant pain you'll be popping them every few hours. I take prescription 500mg's for chronic wrist pain.
@@gnosticelk8193 My Alieve stopped blunting my pain at work so I asked one of the nurses there and she said to try the gel and use name brands. I stopped at Walmart today and picked up all name brand gels, Motrin (Ibuprofen) Alieve (Naproxen ) and Tylenol (Acetaminophen ) and took 2 Motrins on my last day off, feeling no pain!
Hi, I start pharmacology in September and I heard it was a very difficult course. So I start to watch your video to have some knowledge. I am so glad I discovered your courses. thank you
I get headaches from air pressure. Really severe ones. For almost 20 years. And in that time, my go to is coffee + ibuprofen. But works far less effectively without the coffee. I live in Calgary Alberta Canada, the Chinook headaches are famous. I have always wondered why this combo is effective. The other treatment I use is heat applied directly to the bridge of the nose, or cold on the top of the head. Haven't tried naproxen.
Professor Dave, thank you for the amazing videos! 💖💖💖💖 I got hooked on them about 2 months ago and can’t stop watching since then! I became so interested in cosmology thanks to your videos, in combination with books about humanity by Yuval Noah Harari it’s so fascinating! Your channel is my favorite one to watch for good mood, inspiration and fascination with the world, i like to watch it every night before going to sleep, it’s like the amazing, TRUE bedtime stories for me 😄 thank you so much! ✨✨✨✨✨✨
I suggest one let’s their body heals themselves. The body causes the inflammation as protection, and any associated fever is a natural response. Research now indicates, although these alternatives may reduce stomach issues, they highly and negatively impact your gut microbiome.
It should also be stressed that NSAIDs should not be regularly taken by diabetics due to detrimental effects on the kidneys. An alternative causing less kidney, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal toxicity would be Metamizole for example.
And the only thing that kept the pain from my kidney stones at bay - I had to take it prophylactically though: if I waited until the pain started, it wasn't nearly so effective.
...Knocked You out?!😧..of the pill or just the realese of Your body from that pain?..🙄.. but ofc, the best thingis that it helps You..😌👌🏼❣️.. Im sorry, I think Prof. Dave has trashed my normal sence..🥴
@@lindaedvardsson4218 I'm not used to taking painkillers so this one is making me very sleepy. if I take it I make sure to stay at home and not drive anywhere.. But the menstrual cramps are so much worse without it....
I don't really understand the medical terms but Naproxen really have saved me from the menstrual cramps. But people always scold me for having that and saying that can caused me a kidney failure in future🤷♀️
@@GaryGraham66 They had my wife on a dose around there, she'd literally "Jerk" so hard when falling asleep she'd bounce off the bed a few inches. It would wake me up. Lyrica is a cousin of Gaba, I was on that and at higher dose made me act drunk while not having muddled thoughts or slurred speech.
I've never understood why people would buy the name brand of painkillers, when the generics are normally a fraction of the cost, and are chemically identical
The Walmart version doesn't work well on me. Advil's ibuprofen, coated with ibuprofen sodium (the silver label) works best on me, often removing my headache within 20-30 minutes. Wal-Mart ibuprofen often takes an additional dose 4 hours later for it to work.
@@charlesball6519 It's the same active ingredient. Perhaps the dosing is different? The reason brand names are so expensive is because they have to clinical trials which are expensive. Generic medications have to be proved by the FDA that they're a proper substitution that works effectively. Maybe it's all in your head. 🤪
Naproxen is the BEST. But don't forget to take it with food! My friend once forgot to eat before taking it and was vomiting in front of a Louis Vuitton for agessss because of it Also didn't know ibuprofen couldn't be used in later pregnancy. Some pharmacy student I am, yikes
In one of your videos, you said that western medicine treats causes of a disease/pain and you directed to watch a series of these videos (so I am). This video talks how one drug can calm down the menstruation cramps or headaches. But this doesn't mean it fixes this internal problem of having cramps. It just eases the symptomps. Not every woman has it. A healthy body shouldn't experiece the pain. Can someone please explain this to me? I am not a med student. Thanks in advance. :)
A healthy body shouldn't experience pain? That's totally baseless. And how do you know the remission of the cramps isn't addressing the cause of the cramps? Did you listen to and comprehend the mechanism described?
@@ProfessorDaveExplains I know the remission of cramps isn't addressing the cause of the cramps simply because they keep coming back. The problem isn't solved at all. I suffered from menstrual cramps and I've heard many reasons for the pain and many solutions that didn't work. Gynecologists said that if the position of my ovary and hormonal levels were ok, then I should never experience cramps. Therefore, a healthy body shouldn't experience pain during periods. I took tablets like ibuprofen that only eased the pain which kept coming back every menstruation.
@@slowburntm3584 hehehe true xD But what I mean is for a youtuber with that amazing content he should have way more views. Since I study Medical Laboratories in my University his video also helped me with my studies at Biology and Chemistry not only to learn new things.

Thank You for the Pharmaceutical lesson, Dr Jesus .. AMEN
hell yeah, i take naproxen for my chronic joint pain (though its a prescription drug here) and its cool to know more about how it works
most great video seen here yet! protein animations were a nice touch & ∂ig the vocab: eutomer &distomer
I now know why my kidney doctor says NO motrin or aleve for me.
Thanks proff.
Taking my head out of the box.
Good lecture and
Anyone felt the reaction your body goes through when you come of naproxim after 2 months. The tremors/incognitive thought/palpitations/dry mouth.

Im under 18. So when I am sick, my parents always gives me Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen instead of Asprin or Naproxen.

Naproxen is literally the best shit ever. The only thing that saves me from menstrual cramps... It knocks me out for the night, but worth it.

Who wants to be awake during their moon anyway.😌
Do you take it with something else or on its own?
Would you please let me know about, about any reference indicating that, Naproxen directly inhibit the function of leukocytes. Thanks.
Professor did you make any video explaining law of mass action?
I don't really understand the medical terms but Naproxen really have saved me from the menstrual cramps. But people always scold me for having that and saying that can caused me a kidney failure in future🤷♀️
I saw the HEB brand there...are you from Texas?
I was on 3000mg of gabapentin a day for nerve pain, it didn't really work very well. How does this differ from other pain killers?
Gaba works in the brain to basically shut down the calcium channels so impulses from affect pain sites are blocked from being received
@@FreemanVashier Cheers, it did very little to be honest, but that was the max dose they could give.

I am allergic to ibuprofen and can I have naproxen instead, I am gout now 😢 please advise me.
Morn'n Dave
So.. Ibuprofen is the best to use?
Better than opiods for sure.
@@sH-ed5yf way better opioids block pain receptors but doesn't stop the inflammation

Naproxen relieved my leg pain but I had a headache for dam near 8 hours.
I take the Walmart brand. Saves money and works just fine.

And The Winner Is....Ibuprofen! 😍 Glad to hear that Rheumatology pushed the scientists to discover one of the most important NSAIDs!
I have colitis so I can’t use NSAIDs cause it thins the blood ☹️
Please, if you find it interesting, you could do a video about captopril :) Thanks professor.
Hey dave. Will there be an Video about opioids?
Yep several!
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Nice 👍👍

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
Thanks
thanks
great vid
I have never heard that pregnant women shouldn’t take NSAIDS after 30 weeks!!!
Anecdotes suggest Naproxen is also quite good (/better than ibuprofen) against migraines, if taken early. But not for everyone. Stupid migraines.
I’m allergic to aspirin and by proxy, NSAIDs.
