Is Naproxen safe for gout attacks while on Eliquis?
Patient: I recently started taking Eliquis for atrial fibulation and in the middle of the night I developed gout in my knee. I have Naproxen from previous bouts of the gout. I s it safe to take a few Naproxen, it s an emergency. The pain is great and I can t put weight on it. Al B. Doctor: Hello,  Yes, you can take Naproxen for pain relief from an acute attack of gout.  It has no significant interaction with Eliquis.  Hope I have answered your query.  Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Jayesh Vaza,  Orthopaedic Surgeon
