Naproxen — a drug available over-the-counter and by prescription — appears to provide as much relief for low back pain as a narcotic painkiller or a muscle relaxant, a new study suggests. Adding narcotic painkillers (oxycodone) or muscle relaxants (cyclobenzaprine also known as Amrix) to naproxen therapy didn’t help pain or function any more than naproxen alone. Via MedlinePlus.
