These factors may affect how you should use Daypro (Oxaprozin).

Your doctor may recommend that you take a lower dose to reduce headaches and dizziness. If this does not work, your doctor may recommend that you stop taking Daypro (Oxaprozin).

  • seniors
  • people with conditions such as Diabetes or kidney failure
  • people who are taking beta-adrenergic blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, or some diuretics (water pills).

Gastrointestinal effects: Stomach ulcers, perforation, and bleeding from the stomach have been known to occur during therapy with Daypro (Oxaprozin). These complications can occur at any time, and are sometimes severe enough to require immediate medical attention.

Pregnancy: Daypro (Oxaprozin) should not be used during the third trimester of pregnancy. It should not be used during the first or second trimesters of pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Daypro (Oxaprozin), contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: Daypro (Oxaprozin) should not be used during breast-feeding because many NSAIDs have been shown to pass into breast milk.

Children: The safety and effectiveness of using Daypro (Oxaprozin) have not been established for children. Daypro (Oxaprozin) is not recommended for children and adolescents under the age of 18 years.
