Naproxen is very much safe. Need not to worry. You can take it whenever you have a headache. It doesn't cause drowsiness. If you are having vomiting like sensation take antacids after consulting a doctor.

Hello ma'am
Generally it is a good medicine and doesn't have serious side effects
This medicine is used on an emergency basis, not for regular type
There are other medicines which can be used regularly to settle headache and also some counseling therapy and exercise to reduce the headache
Next Steps
kindly consult online for further management and treatment

Hi naproxen is just for acute symptomatic management of headache ,same is for rizact
Naproxen is usually well tolerated
But if you are having frequent ones ,then you should be started on a medication for reducing the frequency that is a prophylactic medication and a detailed evaluation should be done to know the cause of repeated tension type headaches
Next Steps
Consult a Psychiatrist (can do so with me through Practo or otherwise)

Modes of action of both drugs are different and so are the side effects.Theoretically, it should not produce vomiting.
